In a recent exchange on the Bitcoin Development Mailing List, there was a discussion regarding the Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) editing process. Greg expressed appreciation for the BIP but raised concerns about the listing of current editors within the BIP text itself. He pointed out that this arrangement seems to suggest that only the author has the authority to modify the list of editors, potentially leading to a static list over time. Greg emphasized the need for a more flexible approach, allowing for changes to the list of editors as the BIP moves towards deployment and beyond. He suggested that perhaps the information about the editors should be relocated to prevent it from becoming outdated or fixed. This conversation underscores the ongoing efforts among Bitcoin developers to improve the processes surrounding BIPs, ensuring they remain dynamic and adaptable as they progress through various stages of development and implementation.
