No, there was no such refusal. T= he ONLY issue at hand with regard to more BIP editors is that I don't have = time to keep up with it by myself. If your goal is anything else, please si= t this discussion out (aside from perhaps reasonable objections to new edit= ors). BIP number assignments are trivial and not a concern.

It seems= there's an attempt to take advantage of the need for more BIP editors to c= hange or bypass the BIP process without proper procedures followed. While t= here may be arguments for improving the BIP process, that is unrelated and = would need to go through a BIP, not simply fiat of a new editor. Any potent= ial new editor will need to follow the BIP process as it currently is defin= ed until such a new BIP is accepted.

Process followed to assign the number started this whole debate re= cently and creation of BINANA. Previous BIP editor refused to assign number= s to some BIPs. Kanzure had [tweeted][0] asking users on twitter if a BIP s= hould be assigned number. So I am curious what process exactly would be fol= lowed by new BIP editors.

Thanks for sharing. I was= n't aware of this.

If the only requirement is that a BIP shows up on the mailing list=20
first, then they can already censor them. Having them as BIP editors=20
wouldn't change that. It's not clear to me that this requirement is=20
strictly enforced anyways.

Furthermore, they would not have the permissions to delete PRs or=20
issues, so once a PR is opened, even if closed, would still be there.= =20
The status quo w.r.t that would not be any different. At worst, they=20
could refuse to assign a BIP a number, but that's no different than wha= t=20
already happens today. In fact, the situation would likely be better=20
because there would be multiple BIP editors and so what goes into the= =20
repo is not at the whim of a single person.

> 2. How are numbers going to be assigned to BIPs?

Does it matter? The number that a proposal gets has no impact on=20
literally anything else. They could do it sequentially and it wouldn't= =20
actually make a difference as long as there are no collisions.

I'm not sure why this is relevant to this discussion, but presumably=20
there already are, and if there aren't, you can do it yourself. It's=20
just like any other repo on GitHub.

The expectations are as outlined to BIP 2, and that they are actually= =20
active. The situation for looking for new BIP editors in the future is= =20
presumably similar to the one we are in currently - people who write=20
BIPs are frustrated with things taking a long time to be merged with th= e=20
root cause being slow response times from the current editor. The=20
process would likely be very similar: names are proposed, there is=20
discussion about those people, and eventually some are added.

As for removal, this has not been something we've ever done before, so= =20
the process for this is undefined. However, it would presumably be a=20
similar procedure as for adding someone. It begins with someone raising= =20
a complaint about one of the editors on this mailing list or some other= =20
place a discussion, and a community discussion commences about whether= =20
or not to remove them.

There are certainly situations where one of the GitHub org owners may= =20
take emergency action and remove a maintainer's privileges. This is onl= y=20
done when there is a clear danger than the account may do something=20
malicious, and the privileges would be returned if there is clarity tha= t=20
it is safe to do so. For example, this was done when Luke was hacked -= =20
all of his permissions were immediately removed as soon as the news cam= e=20
out, and were only returned several months later once verified=20
communication with Luke were established and he was certain that his=20
GitHub account was no longer (at risk of being) compromised.
