Re: [webrtc-pc] Meta: auto-publish changes to the spec

Ok, if people want to change this, lets do it. But here is the 
requirement for Cisco legal. We have been engaged in litigation over 
IPR related to WebRTC. The assumption of juries  is that a document is
 published with your name on the front pages of it, that you have read
 it. So what we can do is (and is done on many other projects) is 
simply make sure that any change to master is done with a PR, and all 
PR are reviewed by all the documents authors before being merged. This
 does not mean the authors need to agree with the PR, they need to 
have read and reviewed it so any legal issue arriving can be resolved 
or identified. Some people object to this, but I think that if I 
published something you totally disagreed with with your name on th 
front of it and implied to others that you had written that, well that
 is more or less the "fake news" problem and W3C should do do that. 

I will note as a side note, that if you end up with a new version of a
 document ever day, you tend to not have logical points to review it. 
And you end up with less review. This document already receives too 
little review.
