Sounds like the receive of the prior written approval from the core team — will be impossible, bc there will be always 100500 reasons to not give such permission. You, people in democratic countries, tend to think that if permission could be granted — it will be granted sooner or later :drgn_blush_giggle: — it is just a matter of formal procedures and rules. But this isn't how things may work :drgn_sigh:
