The idea is to use BIPs for changes that may or will affect every bitcoin implementation (not to use them for proposed changes to one particular implementation).
I'd like to propose some minor changes to the process:
- I propose that BIPs be wiki pages, with a social convention that the Author gets final word if any editing wars break out.
- If he's willing, I propose that Amir take the role of BIP editor.
- I think bitcoin is still too small to have a specialized "bitcoin-ideas" mailing list; I propose that new potential BIPs be discussed either here or on the bitcoin-dev mailing list.
