Hello Nathan,

thank you for the resurrection :)

I would just stick to RFC instead of QEP: I also like the acronym but
everybody (inside and outside our community) knows exactly what RFC
stands for while almost nobody knows about QEP.

Branding can be useful marketing stuff but I'd avoid it in this
context: we are talking about technical documents, and we have already
enough acronyms to keep in mind, don't we?

Anyway, I would like to write down some notes in a an QEP/RFC about
QGIS Mapserver Python Plugins and I would like to know if and how can
I start from a template: I gave a quick look to
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals but it appears to
be empty.
