Did FreeBSD not have the discussion about this years ago? Though they did not have a single person, but a 20 person core team, which were cut down to a 9 person core team that is voted for every 2 years.

- moonchild 6y agoSounds similar to debian, which is also a very successful and stable project.
- trasz 6y agoThe core team doesn’t really make technical decisions. It’s more for administrative/social/governance type stuff.
- erk__ 6y agoWho would then make the technical decisions? The owners of the different sub systems?
- trasz 6y agoThere's no hard rule. The committers are expected to behave like a civilised human beings, ie talk to each other to reach consensus. Let's say you have a fix for some driver used on ARM. You'll submit it via Phabricator to get ARM maintainers to review it. If they don't, because eg they don't have time, then you'll probably commit it anyway, but if someone points out you did something wrong, you'll be expected to fix it.
