How many people interested in this discussion will be at SciPy this year? It may be a good idea to have a discussion about this at the conference. We could phone conference others in as well so that every voice can be heard.
I think it should be done here on the list. This makes it easier for all to review and refer back to. Also makes it more open, NOT that you are trying to do it behind closed doors.
I do think we need to address this issue. I did not realize I was offending people with my enthusiasm for having a chance to work on SciPy. I have always resisted too much "procedure" and "policy" so that it becomes difficult for people to contribute. I really think technology changes and DVCS can help with this process.
I am all for DVCS. (I posted this on another thread but it is more appropriate here or maybe I just want to repeat myself :) ) The diversity of perspective as to who has done what and more importantly if it was right or ok to do seems to imply that there is lack of clear roles/policies. If there was it seems that we could hope there would not be this diversity in perspectives.
