Sadly, but I have to admit that I tend to think that the above is the best option we have, considering the recent bad feelings, accusations, disputes. The process could look like this: 1) if someone (including committers/pmc members) wants to change something on the home page, then he/she will create a patch and a Jira task 2) the committers will vote on the patch and publish or reject it (I would be tempted to say "providing a reason is not mandatory") I really don't want to continue discussions like: "what is a news?", "what is a book?", "is this independent source of information?", "is this marketing?" etc...
