[Qgis-psc] New policies for QEP submission

[Nyall Dawson]

Hi all,

Given that there were no further comments for
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals/pull/308 within two
weeks, these changes have now been merged and the QEP submission policy has
officially been changed as a result.

Here's a summary of the new policies and what's changed:

   - *A QEP must be open for at least two weeks. This may be extended upon
   request (eg, "I'm on holidays but have feedback to give").*
   (was:
      - Must be open for at least *one* week
      - May be extended upon request (eg, I'm on holidays but have feedback
      to give)
      - May be extended if required
   -
*Newly submitted QEPs should be announced to the community via a message to
   the QGIS Developer Mailing List. The QGIS User Mailing List should also be
   messaged if the changes impact on QGIS end-users. *(new policy)
   - *Comments from the **whole** community are invited and valuable! You
   do not need any special permissions or status in order to give feedback. We
   welcome feedback from all parties, whether you're a developer, a
   documenter, a translator or an end-user.*
      - (was: "Others can assign themselves as interested e.g I might be
      interested in Processing but can't comment on the code. Mainly just to
      provide feedback.")
   - *For acceptance, a QEP requires at least 2 +1's from core QGIS
   developers or PSC members*
   (was:
      - Code based QEPs require at least 2 +1's from core developers.
      Including +1 from maintainer of that area of code
      - Project QEPs require majority PSC vote
      - If no maintainer for an area of code, requires at least 2 +1s from
      core developers
   - *If -1 votes are received from core QGIS developers, then the proposal
   should be amended or further discussion conducted to satisfy all interested
   parties. If consensus cannot be reached, the QEP can be raised to the PSC
   for voting.*
   (was:
      - If -1 votes are received (for code based QEPs) then the proposal
      should be amended or further discussion conducted to satisfy all
interested
      parties. If consensus cannot be reached, the QEP can be raised to the PSC
      for voting.
      - *The distinction here is the new clarification that the -1 votes
      only count if they are received from core QGIS developers -- previously
      there was no policy stating whether ANYONE could make a -1 vote
to block a
      proposal*
