+ Proposal: Require cross-organizational seconds for reviewer nominations
+ https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47597
+
+ This changes the committer/reviewer policy to require an additional
+ reviewer supporting a reviewer nomination to work for a different
+ company and different project affiliation from the nominee.
+
+ This means reviewer nominations would require four supporting reviewers,
+ one of which knows the reviewer through the community (irc, email, bugs)
+ ensuring that the nominee has the open-source collaboration skills
+ we so highly value here in WebKit.
