Re: [eclipse.org-architecture-council] Improving license check for depen

[Jesse McConnell <jesse.mcconnell@xxxxxxxxx>]

The intent is to have the PMC decide whether or not the CQ makes technical sense. Specifically, the IP Team depends on the PMC to confirm that the requested dependency is indeed, for example, a prerequisite (and not, say, a works with). The EMO and IP Team are not generally able to make that assessment. 

I can see the intent but I question if the PMC is the appropriate gatekeeper to decide if a CQ is filed correctly.  Perhaps it is different for each PMC but from the Runtime perspective, I wouldn't expect anyone on Equinox to take the time to understand how any given CQ would relate to Jetty, at least to the level where they would diagnose that sort of nuance.
