Thanks, @daira, for keeping track!
@aristarchus, note that my Dev Fund to ECC + Zfnd + Major Grants proposal also addresses these two points, so the phrasing there (which fleshes out my suggestions above) may prove useful.
Added:
See the Future Community Governance section and the ECC slice (Electric Coin Company) sections there.
I’m in favor of a creating voting mechanisms. However, I have fundamental concerns about coin-holding-time-weighted voting. And also, security concerns about the version where coins are locked in advance. The public discussion of this, so far, hasn’t convinced me that the downsides are acceptable. So at present, I don’t support committing to this voting method as the sole means of deciding dev funding in the future. The aforementioned Future Community Governance section in my proposal is the strongest version I could come up with that leaves the requisite flexibility.
