[Lightning-dev] proposal for Lightning Network improvement proposals

[René Pickhardt]

Sorry did not realized that BOLTs are the equivalent - and aparently many
people I spoke to also didn't realize that.

I thought BOLT is the protocol specification and the bolts are just the
sections. And the BOLT should be updated to a new version.

Also I suggested that this should take place for example within the
lightning rfc repo. So my suggestion was not about creating another place
but more about making the process more transparent or kind of filling the
gap that I felt was there.

I am sorry for spaming mailboxes with my suggestion just because I didn't
understand the current process.

We already have the equiv of improvement proposals: BOLTs. Historically new
standardization documents are proposed initially as issues or PR's when
ultimately accepted. Why do we need another repo?
