As I understood it, you had already done it and were waiting to check it
in pending enough + votes. Now Fred is gathering the + votes!

As far as I can see, everything is working as it should, thus far!

Collaborative design requires people to use email. I think you've
misdiagnosed our problem. The problem is simply that Fred and Andrew
make all final decisions and they can only give xml-sig at best a
fraction of their attention. Plus, they tend not to rule by fiat. So
threads tend to die out without anyone "ruling" one way or another.
Nevertheless, we still get where we are going.
