Yes, you claimed that you didn't need any review because you were a
delegate on IRC. You went on to ask for comments on IRC anyway, and you
might well have done so on the lists anyway, but that's not enough:
getting review from other developers is a requirement for acting in
the name of the project, whether that be in documenting the project's
technical policies or in any other way.
10:23 <aj> Manoj: will you be following the policy change procedure you created
years ago? (file a bug marked wishlist with the changes you want, get
a second on the -policy list, answer any comments, etc)
10:23 <Manoj> aj: nope. that is for others to tell me what to do.
10:25 <Manoj> policy delegates can make changes to policy, that is their
jurosdiction
I'm not willing to let a delegation stand while if it's being used as
a justification to not talk to other people; even if that's happening
only hypothetically.
Cheers,
aj
