From ee50249470ef9cb01618deb4f1a107e3740129a3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "W. Trevor King" Date: Thu, 8 Sep 2016 11:13:46 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] GOVERNANCE: Proposing a motion is a LGTM by default To avoid uncertainty like [1]. I think an explicit LGTM is easy to add [2], but Tianon points out that there's already a lot to remember when proposing a vote, and most of the time the sponsor(s) will be in favor of the motion they're proposing [3].
