[CF-metadata] making proposals in trac

Dear John

The trac system is evidently being used for detailed discussion as well as
proposals, and it has advantages for that. If that is done, however, it might
be best to close the discussion ticket and open a new one when a definite
proposal is made. That's just my opinion; we don't have any rules about this.
To get a change agreed to the conventions, a moderator is definitely needed,
and the template should be used, to make sure required info is provided. A
discussion on trac doesn't have such requirements.

To engage a moderator, you could appeal for a volunteer when you open the
ticket, either in the ticket itself or on the email list. It is not clear
to me how this should best be done or how potential moderators can be
encouraged to volunteer.

Best wishes

Jonathan
