My initial version didn't even have the 'at least two ..' wording in it,
instead I expected it to read as "present on lists, wait for feedback,
only then implement".

Maybe it could be written as

| in close coordination with other members of the project, and to present
| a new and improved proposal on the project's mailinglists in the future.

How would that sound?  Do you have a specific other wording you would
suggest?
