I like the idea of QEPs. I think we could adopt a process very similar
to GDAL RFCs.

@Larry - regarding stuff going through QEP process: I don't think
every small feature needs QEP. We could have a rule of thumb to decide
when QEP is necessary - e.g. new additions to core/gui library or when
a development is going to add a lot of code (>1K lines) or there will
be significant impact to user interface.
