Re: [poll] Use Commit Then Review (CTR)

I’m in favor of whatever process makes this project enjoyable to contribute to again. In the past, we embraced the Apache Way of a “do-ocracy” where people just sort of work on what they want to work on, and things work out in the end because this philosophy embraces community over code. Projects that demand perfect code end up dead once the gatekeeper stops caring about the project (see for example qmail).
