I am OK with this mod being as you say "Open Source" - though thing to keep in mind is that even OS projects have bosses and project leaders
But then some place - say this board, or private messages - should be used for decision making process, and once the decision is made (by whoever is in charge) - it should be documented in simple, clear and straightforward manner.
Another example of using "readme" instead of board. WH doctrine, first the black letter guy says:
"Amizaur has reduced somewhat the effectiveness of wake-homing torpedoes by..." etc.
Then the red letter guy (obviously Amizaur) replies to that:
"Well I think it not exactly this way. I didn’t mean to reduce effectiveness, this is only side effect. " etc.
