Very sorry about that.
I wasn't sure how the issue was ever going to get to a state of being
declined or accepted though. I'm still not sure how/when we can determine
the issue should be implemented.
Should a formal proposal be made outside of the GitHub issue like on the
Wiki?
Is the decision on consensus up to the maintainers?
I don't know.

pretty heated this week judging by the

Honestly, nothing has been heated. Just me mostly responding to the
multiple inquiries of community members since the change for the site is
quite debatable.
Also related, the reason I stated the discussion was dying was because
nobody had posted anymore comments in the past days and I wasn't sure if
any consensus/action moving forward was possible.
I thought that opening it up to other communities like the OSM Slack (the
reason all of the comments were recently created) would somehow establish a
bit more recognizable consensus through the issues/feedback given.
However, since we don't have any way of defining consensus, this doesn't
seem to really matter in the end.

I was just confused about the current state of the issue/consensus. I am
working on a PR right now.
