I suppose I'm kind of confused by the scope. We want template creators
to propose RFCs for architecture changes in MediaWiki?
It's the Wikimedia Developer Summit, and therefore the audience comprises
all the developers busy with Wikimedia -- developers of templates included.
The Wikimedia Developer Summit encourages proposals about updating our
architecture, infrastructure and services to better support users and
developers. [1] There is no reason to restrict the scope to MediaWiki core
and close neighbors, our platform is wider than that.
It is unlikely that template developers will initiate a RfC for changes in
MediaWiki core, but what about discussing the roadmap and priorities for
Scribunto, agreeing on a framework to handle template localization, or a
common repository for templates... I'm not an expert in this area, and
these are possible topics that just came to mind. Template developers will
know what needs to be discussed and agreed to serve better their users.
