The old wording did not mention email discussion before working up changes, which we often recommend to avoid contributors sinking a lot of work into a pull request that ends up being rejected because of a fundamental design issue. The new wording mentions that and also:

  • Removes the overly compact short answer to avoid confusion. The section is not so long that it needs a one-line summary.
  • Distinguishes between in-PR votes (LGTM/Rejected) and merging/closing the PR.
  • Mentions GOVERNANCE for management changes.
  • Uses an enumerated list instead of “Step N” text.
  • Uses one line per sentence.

Spun off from #20.
