## BIP Editors

The current BIP editors are:

* Bryan Bishop ([kanzure@gmail.com](mailto:kanzure@gmail.com))
* Jon Atack ([jon@atack.com](mailto:jon@atack.com))
* Luke Dashjr ([luke_bipeditor@dashjr.org](mailto:luke_bipeditor@dashjr.org))
* Mark "Murch" Erhardt ([murch@murch.one](mailto:murch@murch.one))
* Olaoluwa Osuntokun ([laolu32@gmail.com](mailto:laolu32@gmail.com))
* Ruben Somsen ([rsomsen@gmail.com](mailto:rsomsen@gmail.com))

### BIP Editor Responsibilities & Workflow

The BIP editors subscribe to the Bitcoin development mailing list and watch the [BIPs
repository](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips).
Off-list BIP-related correspondence should be sent (or CC'd) to the BIP editors.

When a new BIP idea is submitted to the mailing list, BIP editor and other community members should comment in regard
to:

* Novelty of the idea
* Viability, utility, and relevance of the concept
* Readiness of the draft
* On-topic for the Bitcoin community

If the BIP is not ready, an editor should ensure that specific instructions are provided to the champion for revision.
Once the BIP is ready it should be submitted as a "pull request" to the [BIPs
repository](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips) where it may get further feedback.

For each new BIP draft pull request that comes in, an editor checks the following:

* Draft has been previously discussed on the Bitcoin development mailing
* Title accurately describes the content
* Proposal is of general interest and/or pertains to more than one Bitcoin project/implementation
* Document is properly formatted
* Licensing terms are acceptable
* Motivation, rationale, and backward compatibility have been addressed (where applicable)
* The defined Layer header must be correctly assigned for the given specification
* The BIP is ready: it is complete, comprehensible, and technically feasible

Editors do NOT evaluate whether the proposal is likely to be adopted.

A BIP editor will:

* Assign a BIP number in the pull request.
* Merge the pull request when it is ready.
* List the BIP in [[README.mediawiki]]

The BIP editors are intended to fulfill administrative and editorial responsibilities. The BIP editors monitor BIP
changes, and update BIP headers as appropriate.

BIP editors may also, at their option, unilaterally make and merge strictly-editorial changes to BIPs, such as
correcting misspellings, fixing broken links, etc.

## Changes from BIP-2

- Status field is no longer modeled around the workflow of consensus changes. The only remaining status are DRAFT,
PROPOSED, and WITHDRAWN. The statuses Active, Deferred, Rejected, Final, Replaced, and Obsolete are sunset.
- Judgment calls required from BIP Editors are reassigned either to the Bitcoin community or the BIP champion
- Tracking of adoption, acceptance, and community consensus is out of scope for the BIPs repository
- Layer header is no longer restricted to Standards Track
- Auxiliary files are only permitted in the corresponding BIP’s subdirectory
- Comments-URI, and Comment-Summary headers as well as Comments are dropped
- The Discussions-To header is dropped
- BIPs can no longer be rejected due to inactivity
