Hi all,
On the timeframe of the new appointment of new BIP editors, I would suggest to postpone the effective date to the 1st May or after.
There is a CoreDev edition happening in April and it's better to not conflict the appointment of new BIP editors with any of the CoreDev dates by transparency towards the wider community.
This avoids last-minute "Hong-Kong Agreement" decision-making-style and anyone present in the room with the GH administrative rights on the BIP repository making the change in a "fait accompli".
On all the other concerns, I think it's still better to split the administrative rights between 1) editors who can merge and 2) "product-management" style privileges for PR / issues sorting.
I think it's good to let technical relevance of the proposal be appreciated by the wider community, marking them as "rejected" if necessary.
As new BIP editors, I'm supporting the following list:
- Kanzure (great responsiveness in my experience)
- Ruben (very knowledgeable in all part of Bitcoin stack)
- Roasbeef (i think it's good to have someone for all inter-compatibility clients things)
- Murch (top bitcoin stackoverflow contributor)
- Jon Atack (much experience with bitcoin core codebase and great responsiveness too)
As new BIP "decentralized PM", I'm supporting the following list:
- Seccour
I don't know the Bitcoin technical credentials of Greg Tonoski.
I think a good thing is to have not-only US-based BIP editors for higher timezones coverage and BIP process responsiveness.
Best,
Antoine
