And if there's a disagreement (that's not a bike shed and thus has a
valid reasoning); things need to be discussed, documented and acted.

In that order. [1]

What we're seeing here is the lack of documentation; so, people act
without having something _simple_ to refer to which causes some extra
effort to explain or discuss the matter again whereas otherwise a
simple link to a piece of documentation or policy would suffice.

Not everything has to be documented; but really, it's like the third or
more time already that we've been talking about this. It would be nice
to see this being written up and placed in a place we can refer to.

I'm not sure what the right place would be though; the bug wrangling
project, developer handbook (policy section) or perhaps something else?

 [1]: For completeness, with council matters add "decided" as second.
