The "Request for Comments: Proposed changes to Fedora development cycle"
for example got posted on "Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2007 10:24:48 -0400" here
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-October/msg01206.html

You received feedback from some people, including from Hans, Me and some
others. On "# Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2007 13:52:34 -0400" you in
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-October/msg02295.html

announced "Potential changes to Fedora development cycle" with the
words: "The release engineering team as put together a proposed set of
development cycle changes [1] that could affect Fedora 9 development.
This proposed set of changes has been reviewed on fedora-devel-list and
other lists for a period of time and input has been incorporated as
best it could. Now it's coming time for FESCo to vote on adopting the
new development cycle."

I looked in the wiki what actually got changed between the two points of
time; that's afaics from
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ReleaseEngineering/DevelopmentChangesProposal?action=info

this diff:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ReleaseEngineering/DevelopmentChangesProposal?action=diff&rev2=11&rev1=4

I'd call that some clarifications in the text to make the proposal more
clear. But sorry, I would not call that "input has been incorporated as
best it could."
