Hey, I have no idea if I'll be there, but I do have a timely thing on my mind:
Main thing I'd like to ask is two closely related questions: Is there any [plan/will?] to codify the acceptance/rejection process for PRs? Also, can we get some sort of thing detailing what goals & boundaries the dev teams sets (with their reasoning!) more clearly than "someone will say no in discord when you mention or show off your idea"?
I don't know how common the feeling is among others but I've felt that the nature and extent of response PRs get is pretty much arbitrary, while at the same time stuff can get rejected or reverted for rather opaque reasons.
Personally I've had a fair bit of frustration with this stuff in past, and I feel like more could be done to prevent wasting people's time and effort. It's a volunteer thing on all sides after all, and I wouldn't be surprised if this grinds on the spirits of other contributers too. (The only case I know being F191 getting annoyed with how CW removal was handled.)
Good luck with the town hall!
