Much of what is proposed here is a large shift from Drupal's traditional feature addition process which has been largely informal. In the past because of our long release cycles consideration of such a process would have been foolish and this degree of formality would only have discouraged involvement. Now that we're moving towards semantic versioning, the release of Drupal 8 and a move to regular six-monthly minor releases means we're now in a position to consider this kind of formal process. Its a sign that we're maturing as an open source community. Parts of the process, in particular the voting, are modelled on other successful open-source projects that have the same level of maturity as ours. The thoughts proposed here are just that, thoughts. They've been influenced by core conversations at Drupalcon Amsterdam as well as a significant twitter thread on the topic. Please read the whole thing before comme
