I originally hoped to make these changes for 7, then the original PR got pushed off to 7.1 and forgotten about until it was almost too late even for 7.1. I agree that a pre-vote phase could be useful, as it may help bring more attention to an RFC before voting actually opens. There seems to be a pattern of issues with RFCs not being discussed until voting has begun. The pre-vote phase could replace one week of the discussion period, so an RFC would still only need a minimum of two weeks between announcement and voting. Cheers! Aaron Piotrowski
