I really want to let people to contribute (myself included) ASAP so I was to propose this as an option to get going and can be amended later. I know it does not resolve all the issues, but offers what I think is a reasonable avenue to get started.
Submit a PR on GitHub against master if it is approved by one commiter (that did not propose it) it can be merged. The approval is done via the GitHub approval system. A commiter may create a PR on behalf of a patch submitted to the mailing list. Commiters can ask for others to review or approve. But at the end of the day they are the ones who approve and merge. We can and should amend this later, it is likely not enough long term. Could people vote if they think this is fine to start. If you don't agree just note that and we can review where we are at. --Brennan
