[TCLCORE] Re: VOTE: maintainers and patches

[Donald G P. <dg...@ca...>]

Strict: Yes
Relaxed: No

With CVS branches we can layer "Relaxed" style development areas on
top of the "Strict" official branches.  It would be very difficult to
carve out a "Strict" environment out of the "Relaxed" style.  Eventually
Strict control is necessary to actually make a release.

Maintainers are burdened with the responsibility of delivering their
sections of code ready for release.  They need the corresponding
authority to be able to make that happen.

The Strict proposal also maximizes pre-commit review and minimizes
post-commit second-guessing, so that users tracking the CVS HEAD can
be more confident they are tracking features which will appear in a
future release, not just some trials and errors.

Strict isn't perfect, but it can evolve into workable procedures.
