Hi all I suggest that we add to the "BIP Editor Responsibilities & Workflow" section of BIP0001 that if the BIP editor for some reason won't handle the BIP within a week, he/she should notify the author within that same week with an estimate on when it will be handled.
Maybe we could extend it to two weeks instead, the important thing is that the author knows what to expect. I'm trying to get BIP numbers allocated for Proof of Payment. I have requested it from the BIP editor Gregory Maxwell with CC this list. I also emailed Gregory in private about it. So far I have not seen any reaction to my requests. There are a number of BIP proposals floating arount right now, I don't know the exact status of them all, but this is roughly how it looks for some of them: Date of request, bip#, Author, Title july 4, -, Gregory Maxwell, Invalid Block Fork Postmortem june 29, -, Peter Todd, Full Replace-by-Fee Deployment Schedule june 22, 101, Gavin Andresen, Increase Maximum Block Size june 17, 68, Mark Friedenbach, Consensus-enforced transaction replacement signalled via sequence numbers june 6, -,Kalle Rosenbaum, Proof of Payment june 6, -,Kalle Rosenbaum, Proof of Payment URI scheme june 6, 69?, Kristov Atlas, Lexicographical Indexing of Transaction Inputs and Outputs I think that the de facto process for BIP allocation and inclusion in the bips repository is unclear. When a number is requested, the author should at least get a reply from the bip editor that the request is seen by him/her. Also, if the editor disapproves on the BIP for some reason, the author must be notified somehow within reasonable and predictable time.
