Here is my slides from the Technical Plenary Day:
[[
Editing the specification
Use a pull request workflow for editorial and substantive changes
* Facilitate discussions and reviews
* Merge when support
* Easier to switch to auto publish if your ed draft has builtin consensus
* Helps with testing (see later)
* See Workflow for editors and other contributors (work in progress)

I wasn't there when this was discussed in the Group so I can't comment
on this. It was be a surprise to me if this was indeed imposed on the
Group without discussion. In addition, I wouldn't expect a pull request
when fixing typos for example.
However, the goal is to change the editorial workflow for W3C
specifications towards using pull requests and it SHOULD be adopted by
all WGs. As I said during the presentation, this is a significant shift
and I don't expect all of the WGs to adopt this tomorrow but this should
be our general goal.
