Next free number is 77.

Ok, no more comments over the last few days, the 'credits' section is ready.  @glep, please merge the draft to master.

There are no changes since the initial posting, so I think this one could go for Council vote.  Furthermore, I think it'd be a good measure for the new Council to vote on it at the first meeting already, as it affects the way Council & Gentoo operate forward.

I'm not sure if we need a global dev vote here since Council is effectively empowering developers and not increasing its own power.  However, if you think that necessary, I'd like to request Council to announce a global developer vote and decide the rules for that vote.

We can do that, but if is is treated as a regular GLEP then the Council will also have the power to change it or to withdraw it. I would suggest to go for a global dev vote, with the same quorum as defined in the GLEP itself.

Sure.  Do you want me to symbolically collect signed approvals for it?  ;-)

*sigh* I withdraw my suggestion then. Let it be a regular GLEP, which might have advantages if there should ever be a need to update it.

Accepted in today's council meeting.
There will be no all-devs vote (as decided by the council).

This might be misleading. What I meant is that there will be no all-devs vote for approval of the GLEP itself.
