Has there been any progress on this "code-first process" proposal? Any timeline
on when we should expect it to be launched?
Thanks,

I think it would be good to add more details regarding the interaction between
edk2 and UEFI forum.
Here is what I suggest:
Each specification update Bugzilla ticket must have a sponsor. A sponsor is a
person or a company that will be presenting change request to the UEFI forum.
A sponsor has to be identified early in the process. Preferably along with
Buzilla ticket creation.
It is sponsor's responsibility to officially submit ECR to the UEFI forum by
creating a mantis ticket with a Bugzilla link.
There are two reasons to create mantis ticket early in the process:
- Creation of the ticket exposes the effort to the UEFI forum thus enabling
early feedback from the members(via Bugzilla), which may reduce number of
iterations in the
implement --> get feedback --> re-implement cycle.
- edk2 effort will be taken into consideration while scheduling future
specification releases
