Where did you see the quorum/consensus? I looked at the links and
couldn't find it.
Triggered by the yggdrasil additions of recent.

Paul S amended the policy (in packages[1] and openwrt[2] repos) with an
open discussion in PRs for Felix to then change direction via:
https://github.com/openwrt/actions-shared-workflows/commit/12d9551f2d07ec34ac813da8612c8014fb393af6
with comment: "should require a public discussion/vote"
I reverted the change because:
a) It's a policy change and not a code change.
Policy changes require a vote.
b) Just because the kernel changed their interpretation of DCO
requirements doesn't mean this automatically applies to OpenWrt
contribution policy.
c) It's completely unclear what the new intended requirements are.
So far it has been our policy that contributions need to be signed off
with the real name of the submitter.
If we want to change this in order to allow contributions without a real
name attached, we need to clarify what's acceptable and what isn't.
The Kernel's "clarification" regarding this topic is *very* vague in my
opinion. What does "known identity" even mean? Known to whom, and to
what degree?
If somebody contributes with his GitHub handle, does that already count
as known?
