I'll get onto that (possibly on the train I'm on). Should be an easy PR against XEP-0143. Personal Hat: This - as well as the proposed changes I've made to XEP-0001 - effectively mandates that at least one author has a GitHub account, or there's an un-named person with a GitHub account who's doing a lot of the heavy lifting. Is this something we're happy with? I seem to recall in the past some people have objected to a GitHub account being a requirement. This might not be awful; but I think if we are formalizing this we might want to have a named role (or perhaps more sensibly, expand the existing Document Shepherd role) to cover this. Should the Document Shepherd be listed on the XEP alongside the Author(s)? Dave
