We have a lot of standards and guiding principles, but a lot of it is
all in our heads, wisdom one can only get by talking about it on
toolchain, and/or breaking things and getting yelled at.

As such, I propose a very rudimentary idea:
Toolchain
This is the top namespace
Toolchain::Standards
First of all +1000 on the idea itself. I want to point out an
alternative to the naming, simply because I have been thinking about
something *very* similar for about 6 months now (and this email may in
fact be the thing that gets me rolling).
The toolchain is not the only thing that has a body of knowledge to be
documented. All organizations have that. All individual projects have
that. And *individual authors* have things they would want to document.
Not because of vanity, but because it is much much much simpler to link
to a piece of text, instead of rehashing an argument for the 100th time.
Therefore I am urging you to think broader and go for:
Policy - short blurb what is this about
Policy::Org - short sub-blurb what is this about
Policy::Org::P5P - pumpkin maitaned
Policy::Org::Toolchain - joint maintainership
Policy::Project
Policy::Project::Moose
Policy::Project::DBIC
Policy::Author
Policy::Author::AUTARCH - explicitly reserved (and non-squatable,
PAUSE admins take action when needed)
Policy::Author::RIBASUSHI
Sorry for the sidetrack
