A key issue is enabling those with commit access to just close issues
and PRs that violate the policy.  I see a bunch of issues that admit
they are "automatically generated" and they are tagged as violating the
existing policy.  But they are still open.   People feel that they have
to be polite to "new contributors" even when the contributor is either
an agent or willfully violating.

I think it's good to just copy gdal.   Partly because that was already
argued and is sensible, but policies are like licenses -- the fewer the
better and if proj wants something close, and "snap to existing policy
point in the vast space" does not hurt, it makes things easier for all.
