I’ve proposed some changes to DEPs 1, 10, and 12 to update them to reflect governance changes over the years: [Update DEPs 1, 10, and 12 to reflect current governance by jacobian · Pull Request #81 · django/deps · GitHub](https://github.com/django/deps/pull/81) The intent for this to be purely mechanical and descriptive, just changing to reflect how things currently work rather than any substantive changes. But that wasn’t 100% possible, since DEP 1 defines some requirements for “Core Developers”, who no longer exist. Because of that I’d like a review from the community and the Steering Council. My take is that this shouldn’t require a formal SC vote since it’s just mechanical, but if the SC determines they do need a vote, please let me know and I’ll wait on that. cc @ubernostrum @andrewgodwin @adamchainz @charettes ---

Thanks for the adjustments @jacobian I don’t have much to say about them that you haven’t already pointed out. I think they are very welcome to ensure DEPs are kept coherent with the current state of things and I personally believe that they do not warrant a SC vote. ---

I also think that, being a mere rearrangement of the existing rules to make them more readable, it does not need an SC vote. (also, helpful note, we have a `@steering_council` mention that you can use for summoning us for votes or other reasons) ---

> [@andrewgodwin](#): > > (also, helpful note, we have a `@steering_council` mention that you can use for summoning us for votes or other reasons) I saw that group, but when I tried that I got an error: ![CleanShot 2023-10-25 at 09.38.57@2x](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/djangoproject/original/3X/c/f/cf905778cc2a975dadc60e1da7fb5a7e63b9daa4.png) Anyway, thanks. I’ll give this a few more days for other folks from the SC to weigh in if they want, and then merge this. ---

Ah right, the mention permissions on that group were quite strict. I’ve loosened it.
