[Matplotlib-devel] MEP Process

[Thomas Caswell]

I think we should get rid of the wiki-based MEPs all together, it is just
one more place that data can get out of sync.

Ideally we make sure that MEPs are merged promptly and worst case changing
the number of a MEP before it's PR is merged is an acceptable fallback.
