The CONTRIBUTING document should probably then include a small blurb on that, and also that the 5 votes is (valuable) feedback to the core team and not a guarantee of merging. > Such PRs will need, let's say 5 (to start off conservatively), thumbs-up votes > on GitHub before they can be merged.

Something along the lines of this is probably where we should start, as it requires minimal investment in infrastructure and process. The main issue *I think* is exposure, how do we get those thumbs-up votes cast? If enough users looked at the open PR's and gave input we wouldn't have this discussion in the first place. Now, it might well be that a thumbs-up vote is less intimidating than commenting/reviewing and has a lower contribution barrier, and I think there is some truth to that. The only way to know is to test it. > We could of course also allow thumbs-down for "I really don't think this > should > be merged". I think we should stick to thumbs-up's. -- Daniel Gustafsson https://vmware.com/ -- Unsubscribe: https://lists.haxx.se/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: https://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html
