Hi all, There has been a great influx of APEs lately, and that is wonderful to see. I also think many of them are not very controversial; the discussion thread is pretty much just +1 or agreement on the feature being a great addition.
When the PMC voted on adopting the APE process in 2023, the process we agreed on was having a [DISCUSS] thread and then a [VOTE] thread. I think this is overkill in the case where the change is clearly a shoo-in. I therefore propose the process be amended such that: - IF the discussion is clearly positive after 72 hours, AND -the change is not breaking or deprecating existing functionality, AND -3 or more PMC members have expressed positive sentiment at the change the APE is by default accepted. Thoughts? -Ian
