Hi, An idea: establishing a time of discussion. At the end, if there is not consensus (as Gitlab), there is not. If there is, ensuring every DD can still have an opinion via GR or changes proposals in some guidelines (Debian Policy, etc). While mails are too much and so long to be followed by "silent" DDs, no DD can ignore a GR or a change in the guideline, or he is respnosible. Would help for ensuring a full consensus, limiting some repeats mails. We do his successfully for DPL election.
