Ben's rules of open source order

Open benbalter opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

Like Robert's rules of order, but for open source projects.

  • Pull requests should close issues
  • No PR is in order that contradicts the README, CONTRIBUTING file, LICENSE, or Code of Conduct
  • All votes are by general consensus unless described otherwise

"general consensus" seems to be a very broad term. Does it simply mean lack of objection? If so, who's objection is enough to stop it? A maintainer, A contributors, A Drive by opinion dropper? If there is a lack of consensus, what happens?
