[gentoo-dev] GLEP XX: Fix the GLEP process

[Jason Stubbs <jstubbs@gentoo.org>]

Abstract

The purpose of GLEPs is to coordinate several teams into providing an overall 
enhancement to Gentoo. However, the GLEP itself is written by a single person 
rather than a cooperative effort between the teams.


Motivation

Recent GLEPs have attempted to force things on other teams. This just doesn't 
work.


Specification

Rather than coming to the ML with a completed GLEP and then asking for 
feedback, a GLEP author should look at the teams involved and then select a 
solicit a member from each team to be responsible for that area of the GLEP. 
The GLEP author may represent any teams they belong to.


Rationale

Rather than doing lots of hard work and having it thrown away once it is found 
to be unacceptable by the teams involved, the teams involved share the hard 
work and come up with something acceptable to everybody right from the 
outset.


Backwards Compatibility

Nothing


Reference Implementation

Just do it.
