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.

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

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 may change status from Draft to Active when it achieves

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
