Any link would help.
Upthread (in the [snip]'d part), Craig referenced https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/TwistedDevelopment <https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/TwistedDevelopment>, and I thought we'd migrated some stuff from there.

Perhaps this proposal has been rejected but I think we should leave a stub in there saying that we could really use some help with a formal process. The informal process is sort of necessary at the moment, but implicit processes tend to overlook quieter people, and people who are less sure of themselves in the open source social context. However, improving this process is going to be some work, and we'll have to find someone willing to do it. -g
