Re: [cdi-dev] Decision making process in CDI spec

I am not sure what you're getting at but I was merely saying I changed the wiki straight away instead of sending a PR proposal (because that's not possible for GH wikis).
The process I described there (as I am sure you read) relates to mailing list as a place where the vote would take place.
