I've been eagerly awaiting the minutes of this... (but was foolishly waiting
for a mailing list message and missed that the logs are on the meeting page
now).

I can't see reference to this in the meeting summary, I guess I'll have to read
the full log :(

We've been maintaining a doom package "guidelines" document for some time:
<http://pkg-games.alioth.debian.org/doom-packaging/> I've hesitated to call it
"policy" because it isn't part of debian-policy proper and until very recently
there were no significant doom packages maintained outside of the team, so
there was no need to convert this into a stick to beat people.

In recent times I've thought about expanding it into a more general games
policy and covering the Quake family, etc.

Is this the kind of thing that might fit with what you folks are looking at for
a games policy?
