[SNIP] 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."
