Unfortunately Anthere's "you guys govern yourself - the dev is a good guy" post misses the point.
*If* we are to govern ourselves, then *we* need to define what is and is not sufficient mandate for policy changes in our community.
No, we don't.
Remember, what is called "policy" on Wikipedia is not prescriptive. It is merely a description of what has happened in the past in response to certain situations, to provide a guide as to what to expect in similar situations in the future.
There's no need to *explicitly* change "policy"; simply start acting differently and "policy" will follow.
