Why is earning authority a step in this process? This just seems like
yet another barrier to entry.
"You know enough C and you understand how to implement the feature,
but I've not seen your name around here so get stuffed."
That doesn't seem like a helpful attitude.
As for the comments about the FIG made by others, I agree with Larry
in that we're doing a pretty good job at trying to build on the
example set forward by internals. Self moderation and workflow are two
important factors to the group, and I don't feel like this 4 point
list is the sort of workflow anyone should be trying to follow or
enforce.
