@churchyard here's a first draft for you. Does this match your expectations from our discussion?

Yes, this is pretty much it. (I also wanted to encourage ideas, but making it clear that ideas are not approved, but only discussed -- that is however a different problem to solve.)

From the text it is also unclear when should be the feedback section created. I suggest to add something like:

For innovative or possibly controversial ideas, consider collection feedback before you file the change proposal. Either way, when you receive feedback (both before or after the change was proposed), you should summarize it in this section. Sometimes, there is no feedback, and it is fine to acknowledge that here. Some other times, the discussions can get heated: consider asking a neutral party to summarize the discussions in such case to avoid bias.

Instead of the current

TIP: You should fill in this section as feedback is received.

Thanks for the feedback!

Agreed. I intentionally split this up so that we can handle them separately.

I kept the TIP as-is, but I folded your suggested text into the section. Does this look reasonable to you?

I intentionally split this up so that we can handle them separately.

I thought so, but just wanted to make this clear in case the second part was somewhat lost. Thank you.

The change looks good.

Yes, it is a valid AsciiDoc comment. It's an admission that I'm telling people to do something without providing much guidance.
