Linuxiac reports that GNOME has entered the final comment period for a proposed Request for Comments process meant to document and coordinate decisions that affect several teams or large parts of the ecosystem, with active GNOME Foundation members able to raise concerns until October 4 at 23:59 UTC. Contributor Sophie Herold proposed the framework so that discussions currently scattered across chat rooms, logs, and trackers leave a durable record of what was proposed, why, which alternatives were weighed, and how the decision was made. The process is not intended for routine code changes or as a roadmap gate, and example cases include switching from GdkPixbuf to Glycin, moving documentation from gtk-doc to gi-docgen, and potentially a GNOME policy on AI or renaming the default Git branch.
