This one's a really good idea in principle: last time we tried it, someone
who believed in free proposals whipped up a "anyone can act on my behalf
to support creating/pending a proposal" contract.  Not sure if it's worth
making exceptions to act-on-behalf for such things or if that becomes too
clumsy?

That really wasn't the point to take away from that message, but okay.

Given that pending isn't in the rules at the moment, the dependent
action version is likely simpler.

Pending is /safer/, though, because it allows the proposal to be
validly distributed even if the pending went wrong, meaning less
uncertainty about the gamestate if the Promotor makes a mistake.

Even simpler: players can submit proposals but a different person has to
pend them, after checking for mistakes. Oh, and it has to be an active
player.

Proto: create proposals with 1 support. Supporter SHOULD check the proposal 
against [list of common mistakes we keep somewhere]

When I wrote Paydays (I think I drafted that text), I purposefully wanted
Speaker to be a sinecure with a salary, as a perk for winning.

Aside:  I really hate the lack of pending, and just plopping proposals in
the pool without review (including mine).   Watching the proposals in the
last couple weeks has really just turned me off trying to participate in
that process.  YMMV.
