Description

Per https://lists.apache.org/thread/rkpvlnwj9gv1hvx1dyklx6k88qpnvk2t

Contributors create a Google Doc and make that view-only, and post that Google Doc to the mailing list for a discussion thread. When the discussions have been resolved, the contributor ask on the Dev mailing list to a committer/PMC to copy the contents from the Google Doc, and create a FLIP number for them. The contributor can then use that FLIP
to actually have a VOTE thread.
