User/maintainer-facing wiki pages often lag FESCO policy decisions meaning that finding out some decisions requires trawling through mailing list archives or obscure wiki pages. Specific example is the decision by FESCo that a re-review is necessary for renaming/splitting packages, but this not documented in the most obvious official pages which most maintainers would look to go for:

A complicating factor here is that some wiki content has multiple overlapping juridictions, e.g. Packaging: namespace is, I think, controlled by the FPC (Packaging Committee) who don't necessarily sit on FESCo. But this shouldn't necessary to know for the readers of the wiki, new maintainers or maintainers not so actively involved in fedora-devel-list or #fedora-devel, so some solution might need to involve FPC.
It was decided that for FESCo policy decisions, a new keyword in the ticketing system will be introduced, 'writeup' as discussed above, and the ticket will be assigned to a specific person. At the beginning of each meeting, all such tickets will be poked.
