Hey y’all,
After going through the review comments following my prior email from
September and reworking several sections, I finished an initial draft of
a proposal how to update the BIP Process.
The main changes compared to BIP2 are:
- Sunset the comments system
- Rework the workflow
- Use only four Status values (Draft, Complete, Deployed, and Closed)
instead of nine, clarify the meaning of statuses
- Replace the "Standards Track" BIP type with the "Specification" BIP
type, and update definitions for all BIP types
- Declare Process BIPs to be living documents
- Discourage adoption tracking in the BIPs repository
- Introduce Revision header and Changelog to record changes to BIPs
after they have been recommended for adoption
- Update the description of repository’s scope
- Reduce BIP Editor role to checking editorial and formal criteria,
reassigning judgment calls to authors and audience
- Introduce the Shepherd role as stand-in for Authors
Due to the length of the proposal, please find the full text in this
pull request:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/pull/1712
I am looking forward to your review and comments.
Best,
Murch
