It's easier to standardize something that works and has seen no need for substantial changes since X months rather than a recommendation that changes every other month because it has not been well fleshed out.
Yes, but: - don't over-engineering - don't wait to much on details (we don't want a debian/control discussion over one year) and: - most standard are done by/after usage - we don't know the main problems and errors of "normal DDs" and the integration workflow with various vcs tools. I really think that in one year we need to discuss again about some items (License field was need? Bug is used correctly? Signed-Off is needed? Forgot something? Team tags? Are there a lot of template text). The main idea and structure is already given by DEP-3, and there is no critical information, so I think it will not confuse user an update, but such updates will clarify some aspect we now don't see. ciao cate
