The „comp.lang.javascript FAQ“ [1] was based on discussions in the 
newsgroup, but I do not know to what extent this section is based on them.  
IIRC the previous maintainer, Garrett Smith, was criticized for not having 
run several changes through a peer review.  AIUI he abandoned maintainance 
in part for not having to face the mostly destructive criticism anymore.  To 
my knowledge there was no approval process – which to me is the whole point 
of having a maintainer: to have a person to whom you delegate the 
responsibility of making an informed decision based on what people think 
because it is too difficult, maybe even impossible, for all of them agree on 
a point.  That said, it is better to present a FAQ’s content as 
recommendations than as rules.

The „FAQ for comp.lang.javascript“ (see signature) is supposed to be based 
on discussions in the newsgroup as well, as I said when I announced it in 
December 2012 [2] following a discussion in the newsgroup and on 
Twitter [3].  Since then, I have received a little feedback from few people 
(including you, thank you again).  I am thinking of a slightly different 
approach to editing now that might improve the situation.

It is probably not a good idea to change one’s approach solely based on the 
opinion of a person who has hardly, if ever, contributed anything to this 
newsgroup in the sense that their contribution was on-topic.

So far, with changes that are merely editorial in nature, the “FAQ for 
comp.lang.javascript” is identical to the “comp.lang.javascript FAQ” (which 
is unfortunate as that means that for the most part it contains the same 
errors and outdated information; the changelog can confirm this).
