a) XEP-0143: Add author responsibility to submission process
https://github.com/xsf/xeps/pull/1552
I'm not sure about the wording "take responsibility" here, it seems a bit
vague to me. Does that mean responsible of legal liability? Plagiarism of
existing specs? Or responsible if things are not working? Something else?
What does people think about that?
Also, on one hand it's important that somebody contributing take care of
proposing original work, and check that there is a minimum quality
requirement, but we should not put too much burden on specification author
(i.e.; in case of any legal trouble, it should be handle by/with the XSF in my
opinion, not by the author(s) alone).
Maybe something like that:
"You must understand and verify every part of your contribution. You must
ensure that your work is original and not a plagiarism of other people work."
