I am opposed to the addition of Kalle Alm at this time.

Those who believe that adding him will resolve the situation with
Luke-jr's inappropriate behavior re: PR1104 are mistaken.

What is preventing the BIP maintainership role from moving to a bot? It does seem like a bot should be able to do a fine 
job given the explicit criteria (though ignoring obvious spam is often nice, its by no means a requirement).

Given recent events where humans have....acted like humans, it seems a move to a bot may be warranted.

PR1104 has been merged.  Do you continue to oppose the addition?

Thanks,

Kalle should not be made an editor by an ad-hoc process. I reiterate Greg's
NACK.

I propose that we form a stewardship committee of frequent contributors,
including you, Greg, and 21 others. The stewards appoint a small set of
editors with permanent oversight by the stewards. A defined process
prevents this controversy from arising in the future and makes proceedings
clear.

My proposal has been moderated off of this list, but may be viewed here:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/pull/1113

I care not for the role of initial transitory editor. I would be pleased
should any responsible community member shoulder this onus in my stead.

Peace be upon you,

JC

A committee to guide the committee? You guys truly have lost the plot.

All the good minds and cryptographers have left Bitcoin. What remains is
an empty echo chamber.

Truth is these problems start with lack of vision and long-term roadmap,
not with the processes themselves.

And the Bitcoin Core monopoly created this situation; one coin, one
client, one vision. And the inevitable infighting for ultimate power.

Really if we want to go down this route, there should be a long period
of self reflection about where the problems began rather than patching
some process and moving on.

I propose Bitcoin Core is dissolved as the official Bitcoin project. The
community is free to elect their preferred version of Bitcoin. And most
importantly, Bitcoin developers commit to a fully specced standard that
all implementations move towards using.

A good solution here is to make it clear to visitors that facilitation,
mediation, and organisation help is badly needed in the core development
team.

People with such expertise can even be hired directly.

A good facilitator opens communication paths between all parties, leaving
everyone satisfied with decisions.  Don't accept a compromise if you can
look for something better.

Nonsense, as it is not the official Bitcoin project. There is no such thing.

The community is free to elect their preferred version of Bitcoin.


Individuals have voted with their feet and are free to continue to do so.
It's anarchy, I tell you!

Who decides the spec? Perhaps... a committee of some sort?

ACK on adding Kalle.

I'm happy to finally see someone else interested in BIP maintainer role, for years no one really seemed to care about doing this mostly procedural/bureaucratic function, which is (part of) the reason Luke-Jr ended up as the only BIP maintainer for such a long time.

And I disagree that a bot could do this just as well. Auto-merging would open it up to all kinds of DoS attacks, vandalism, and low-effort scams that a person can easily ward against.

ACK for adding Kalle.

Recent drama aside, having a single editor is not ideal. There's currently 110 open pull requests to the BIPs repo.

Hi Luke,

For the records and the subscribers of this list not following
#bitcoin-core-dev, this mail follows a discussion which did happen during
yesterday irc meetings.
Logs here : http://gnusha.org/bitcoin-core-dev/2021-04-22.log

I'll reiterate my opinion expressed during the meeting. If this proposal to
extend the bip editorship membership doesn't satisfy parties involved or
anyone in the community, I'm strongly opposed to have the matter sliced by
admins of the Bitcoin github org. I believe that defect or uncertainty in
the BIP Process shouldn't be solved by GH janitorial roles and I think
their roles don't bestow to intervene in case of loopholes. Further, you
have far more contributors involved in the BIP Process rather than only
Bitcoin Core ones. FWIW, such precedent merits would be quite similar to
lobby directly GH staff...

Unless we harm Bitcoin users by not acting, I think we should always be
respectful of procedural forms. And in the lack of such forms, stay patient
until a solution satisfy everyone.

I would recommend the BIP editorship, once extended or not, to move in its
own repository in the future.

Cheers,
Antoine

ACK adding Kalle.

Kalle is a qualified reviewer / editor and well suited for this role.

Unless there are objections, I intend to add Kalle Alm as a BIP editor to 
assist in merging PRs into the bips git repo.

Since there is no explicit process to adding BIP editors, IMO it should be 
fine to use BIP 2's Process BIP progression:

A Process BIP could be opened for each new editor, but IMO that is 
unnecessary. If anyone feels there is a need for a new Process BIP, we can go 
that route, but there is prior precedent for BIP editors appointing new BIP 
editors, so I think this should be fine.

Please speak up soon if you disagree.

Luke
