The Asymmetry of No

[Optional] Outline

  • describe the problem: PR opened, complaint arises, author disagrees, PR dies
  • why does this happen? Conflict aversion in people with merge rights, unclear authority to overrule objections, backlog of uncontroversial work
  • how can we fix it? Clearly define what objections can be overruled and why. Differentiate between fixable mistakes, and unfixable mistakes to triage cost of getting it wrong

[Optional] Supporting links

  • Rust's RFC repo
  • GATs stabilization
  • gish-gallop
