Subject: Re: [bitcoindev] Re: Adding New BIP Editors
Date: Tue, 16 Apr 2024 08:32:26 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7B4BE76C-63AF-4B84-805F-B78574A93D65@coinkite.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <a7b4924d7148f85b1a7676a1c113eccc0b06cc86.camel@timruffing.de>

I understand the skepticism with more people. I was also skeptical about having larger committees, but after doing working on the open stats board which is 9 people and it being extremely efficient and practical I've changed my outlook on the numbers.

What do you do gain is more people to be available to review applications. Which is often the bottleneck. I doubt there would be much contention on the opinions of the group.

Just my two 2 cents.
