From 1032743e5410088b770bb454eda794b6f1d50a99 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Balazs Gibizer Date: Mon, 25 May 2020 17:34:42 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Make Feature Liaison optional As we discussed in the pre-PTG ML thread and on the PTG[2] we don't see too much value keeping the Feature Liaison mandatory in the spec but we keep it as an optional way for new contributors to declare that they would like to be mentored.
