There might be lack of documentation, but if you are confused, you should just ask.
Before criticising, the right thing is to understand and maybe document the
existing process.

The example is bogus - this was a simple mistake, fixed right after it was
noticed. Further, no one noticed there's and ABI change, and Qlogic did not
notice that their library in trunk was broken and not working properly with
libibverbs-1.0.
So its a clear confusion in what to do, not how.

Where's the conflict? Between whom?
AFAIK so far things were done by concensus.
