This means either: * Waiting long enough for all parties involved to either comment or ignore the issue(considered an abstention). * Contacting affected parties to obtain either their comment, confirm abstention or to set a deadline for them to express their opinion. As a consequence of being responsible, commits to the repository need a maintainer approval. * No ticket - no commit policy. This is important to document our decisions. Every change must be discussed in the issue tracker before being committed. Every comment of parties affected by the decision must be added to the ticket regardless of the way the comment was communicated. The exception to this policy is minor technical defects such as typos, formatting. " I'd like to know if I can remove "Proposals by Evgeny Egorochkin:" from this section of the page. That is, please vote or comment ;) -- Evgeny _______________________________________________ Xesam mailing list <a href="mailto:Xesam@lists.freedesktop.org">Xesam@lists.freedesktop.org</a> <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xesam" target="_blank">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xesam</a> </blockquote></div>
