Description

There are some docs about an RFC process that we haven't followed for a long time - especially the "what next" section which talks about a monthly catchup that just doesn't happen.

We should either delete these misleading docs, or start following an RFC process again.

  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start with the RFC process documentation at docs.silverstripe.org/en/5/project_governance/request_for_comment/ and check whether a current RFC process exists elsewhere in the developer documentation. The work is done when the misleading guidance is either removed or updated to accurately describe a process that the project can support.
