The page is the main page that describes the proposal-process. Prior
to making a proposal I generally would suggest to ask others if they
already tag a specific thing in a certain way. If not I suggest to
discuss the best way to so in [tagging]. After discussion (and
eventually modification) of the definition, it should go to the
voting. I do not want everybody who wants to vote on new features to
read all the tagging-list contributions.

Personally I read both list (don't know how I can manage), so this is
not my personal concern. If most people here agree that tagging is
fine, I'm fine with it too.

cheers,
Martin
