Hey all, There's quite a few steps in the PEPr process - draft, proposal, voting, result A lot of the time, people have it 50% right when they submit a draft. The proposal comments give them feedback; and if the feedback is negative or ambiguous in the eyes of the submitter... often a proposal is abandoned at that point. For instance: http://pear.php.net/pepr/index.php?filter=proposal - many of these have been around for some years; some don't really fit with PEAR; some actually do but lost a maintainer. I'd like to suggest that after a certain period; proposals shift into voting mode automatically. At the very least; this lets the community swap from feedback mode to decision mode; even if that decision is "thanks, but no thanks". Thoughts/votes? The technical difficult shouldn't be that hard - 1x cron and a few lines of API calls; and I should have the time to do this kind of thing in the near future.
