This gets my vote. I think we should just drop the rule that you 
can't author your own DIPs. Its only impact has been that your 
DIPs have stalled.

I'm planning to modify the DIP process in the new year. Dropping 
this rule is a change I was considering, so let's just go ahead 
and do it.

And for the record, one change I've already decided on is that 
I'm eliminating the Final Review round. A DIP can still have 
multiple rounds of Community Review if it goes through 
significant revision, but once the CR is done, it will now go 
straight to Formal Assessment.
