Agreed!  And also we need to communicate more about what it is and what
it’s not (esp. the fact that it’s not a vote!).

Yes, I found that it helped to announce “version 2” and “version 3” to
give a heads-up to people who hadn’t been able to follow closely.

I’m not sure whether/how we can formalize this sort of intermediate
milestone.  Maybe the process document can just encourage that?

I agree that this would help.

The best approximation I could do was to record acknowledgments and
provenance info in commit messages, but that’s obviously not as clear,
and in particular it makes it harder to see if outstanding concerns were
left unaddressed.

Using issues/pull requests for this sounds like an improvement.

I’m fine with “reject” and maybe “conclusion” (?) for the final
phase. :-)

Perhaps we can set up an informal working group to prepare an update to
the process?

Thanks,
