I think what would be good is to have you discussing the  "I'm going
to work on this feature"
at the ML before it's started. And not discovering it randomly at PyPI
or the commit list,
leading to a heated discussion or a poll.

I would classify the changes in three kinds:

- minor: a new feature, a UI bugfix etc
- important: a new feature that changes a lot the end-user experience
(like the rating system)
- major: a change to the APIs (HTTP/XML-RPC)

I think you should briefly present your plans for important or major
changes in catalog-SIG
prior to starting them, so we can discuss them.
