Thank you for your opinions!
So far that doesn’t sound like my concerns about accountability are shared by the forespeakers.
This is interesting, because abstractly speaking an RFC is probably the only built-in / left over mechanism of accountability that there is.
Leaving the constraints of reality aside (day job / part time / etc), I wonder wether it’s a fundamentally good idea to not govern the community through the ideas of checks and balances, but reactionary in light of the emerging need for moderation. And then yet again reactionary, when we see it (possibly, even likely) fail in the future.
I can see in the RFC process and non-codified in the NixOS Foundation a last resort remedy, but even after individual preferences, these hurdles to effective accountability are high and an imbalanced system remains.
In my opinion, Actual Accountability is an integral part of the sutainability of the systems design. There are sure better ways to promote it than my concrete Issue’s request.
Happy to hear some ideas in that direction, too.
