Please remember Roy that your mails do not make policy either. "Policies" (for whatever level they exist here) have been set up established practice- and as you know the mode of operation here so far has been "add yourself to the wiki". So for all practical purposes, it *was* the policy here until your email. I have no problem with changing it but don't try to make it look like there's "piling on" when established practice has is followed. I'm absolutely +1 for changing the process and having the proposer control who joins the project as you recommend.
