After looking at this further, I found that the glep was presented to
us in Jan 2018 on the dev ml [1].
I checked all council meeting logs and discovered that this was never
brought to us formally for approval.
It looks like the developers decided to do this as an
infrastructure/portage project and because of that they felt like they
didn't need a glep.
Thanks,
William
