I'm not comfortable with just writing a document.  In Core, we had a tool, and 
pretty much everything was left up to maintainers and what the tool would 
allow.  Now, I would love to have discussions with interested parties 
(including yourself) on how policy should work so that the tool can adjust.  
The current tool is largely a mirror of what we were using internally (with a 
couple things missing yet) as we had nothing else for Luke to work with.  
There was either the internal tool, or the policyless uncontrolled chaos of 
Extras.  We need to come up with something.  Please join the next Release 
Engineering meeting to help us discuss this.
