Bug#754189: developers-reference: describe maintenance workflow for developers-reference
Package: developers-reference
Version: 3.4.12
Severity: normal
Hi,
developers-reference should describe the expected workflow for modifications.
Following a discussion on the status of developers-reference, it seems
that the consensus on the way changes should be made is the following:
> I think that the policy should be:
> - consensual changes can be committed by anyone
> - non-consensual changes should be discussed on the BTS prior to being
> committed
>
> When someone commits something thinking it is consensual, but the change
> ends up being non-consensual, it can simply be reverted.
