Hi,
and here is the promised amendment which will require a maximum of
floor(Q) developers to second a GR.
PROPOSAL START
========================================================================
General Resolutions are an important framework within the Debian
Project. Yet, in a project the size of Debian, the current requirements
to initiate one are too small.
Therefore the Debian project resolves that
a) The constitution gets changed to not require K developers to sponsor
a resolution, but floor(Q). [see §4.2(1)]
b) Delaying a decision of a Delegate or the DPL [§4.2(2.2)],
as well as resolutions against a shortening of discussion/voting
period or to overwrite a TC decision [§4.2(2.3)] requires floor(Q)
developers to sponsor the resolution.
c) the definition of K gets erased from the constitution. [§4.2(7)]
(Numbers in brackets are references to sections in the constitution).
========================================================================
PROPOSAL END
Practical changes: Taking the definitions of the latest GR we had,
Current Developer Count = 1018
Q ( sqrt(#devel) / 2 ) = 15.9530561335438
K min(5, Q ) = 5
Quorum (3 x Q ) = 47.8591684006314
this will mean that future GRs would need 15 other people to support
your idea.
