@url{https://www.seedsforchange.org.uk/consensus}. It is expected from
all contributors, and even more so from committers, to help build
consensus and make decisions based on consensus. By using consensus, we
are committed to finding solutions that everyone can live with. It
implies that no decision is made against significant concerns and these
concerns are actively resolved with proposals that work for everyone. A
contributor (which may or may not have commit access) wishing to block a
proposal bears a special responsibility for finding alternatives,
proposing ideas/code or explain the rationale for the status quo to
resolve the deadlock. To learn what consensus decision making means and
understand its finer details, you are encouraged to read
