I certainly see your point. My concern is that we keep a large number of
applications around as open governance reviews, waiting for $SOMETHING
to happen there before we should reconsider them. How should we judge
when those are ready to be put back on the docket ?

My suggestion was that rather than having nobody (or everyone) watching
that, we should have someone different keeping track of each, to spread
the load. I can certainly see how that can be a loss of our precious
time, especially as more and more projects apply.

I'm fine with the burden of "reproposing when ready" falling on the
proposer. But then I think we should really reject the original proposal
altogether, rather than keeping it around with vague comment, no real -2
vote, and no real way for anyone to signal "hey now it *is* ready!".

Would you all be fine with that instead ?
