While reading the changelog, I noticed there's been seconds by non-DDs
and then wondered if those are meant to be counted or not (my
recollection tells me no, but I was not sure).
Reading the PolicyChangesProcess [0] it's not that clear, it seems to
hint to only DDs being able to do so, though. Then checked the old
debian-policy-process [1], which is more clear, and probably from where
I was remembering things, specifies that any one can propose but only
DDs can second.
Could this be clarified either way in the wiki page? Also the role of
DMs, general contributors, etc.
thanks,
