1) Reference of discussion in RFCs
When I try to look into the discussions of older RFCs to find out why
they ended up the way they did, it’s not easy. You hardly can find
them. This is because they are often not referenced in the RFC itself.
Going forward, would it make sense to make it mandatory to reference
'[Discussion]' and '[Vote]' in the RFC text itself?
I'll make the requested adjustments and then follow up here on the
list.
I have made the change in the following commit:
https://github.com/php/policies/pull/23/commits/fdd28a322aa03ccc822d8f0ac3fa1d934a519a7e,
added the link to the discussion of this very RFC to the RFC itself and
updated the changelog section. As this is a major change to the RFC, the
discussion period will go for another 2 weeks from now.
Given that the emails do not immediately become available in the
archives, I've used the “as soon as possible wording” with deadline for
the voting announcement and voting close respectively. While the RFC is
in progress, the threads should still be easy to find. The goal is to
preserve easy access after several months have passed, so I don't think
a super tight deadline is necessary as long as it happens eventually.
Best regards
