@rfcbot poll [team]

[joshtriplett]

I'd love to have a generic "poll with checkboxes" command that does not involve a disposition like "merge" or "close" or "postpone", for cases where we just want to ask a team if they have consensus on a question. This could also take an optional team, for cases where the issue has multiple team tags but only one team's consensus is needed on a question.

So, as an example...?

@rfcbot poll T-lang Do you agree that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is better than DC comics?

@rfcbot poll Isn't Ferris the best?

So this would only accept one line? (all rfcbot commands only accept one line atm...)

[joshtriplett]

I think it should just have rfcbot link to the comment that invoked rfcbot poll. Perhaps it could accept a one-line description that it posts in boldface in the poll itself, but that seems unnecessary.

Could we get consensus from the language team that XYZ seems feasible to implement without incoherence?

(Also, please don't require the T- prefix.)

The one line description seems important to see more quickly what it is about, other than that the link seems like a good idea to include.
