4.5.2. No decision point is too small to pre-announce to a mailing list

While we can grow trust in the community about technical or other decisions, there are common problem circumstances we can avoid:

We cannot guess what is important to contributors, nor why. Presuming they don't care about a decision is a bad idea.

Implementation needed

The method is to take all decisions to the open forums, until people start complaining that a particular class of decisions can happen in another way/place. This is called, "Building trust by proof through annoying transparency."
