We should have some commonality, which has been started with 8874/8875.

However, one-size-fits-all doesn’t work in the IETF.

Groups vary widely in the workflows that work best for them; groups dominated by people that ship software in their day jobs usually can adapt to git forge based workflows much better than groups centered in different areas of engineering.

I do believe the 2-week moratorium works for all of IETF, because it does not relate to working methods as much as to realities of meetings and traveling to them.
I do not believe a Procrustes edict on WG working methods will work, and that includes how exactly git forges are used.
