Process: Activate BIP3 #1820

1. 
   murchandamus commented at 3:32 am on April 12, 2025: contributor

   This pull request depends on the commits in #1819 and therefore is still only a draft pull request.

   However, this is what the application of the changes prescribed by BIP 3 in the section Updates to Existing BIPs should this BIP be Activated would look like. The first commit of this pull request is process: Activate BIP3.

   Todos:

   • Update of the CI-scripts
   • Evaluate Informational BIPs regarding update to Specification type
   • BIPs that have had Draft status for extended periods will be moved to Complete or Deployed as applicable in collaboration with their authors.
   • The authors of incomplete Draft BIPs will be contacted to learn whether the BIPs are still in progress toward Complete, and will otherwise be updated to Closed as described in the Workflow section above.
2. Remove BIP 3 text to make it show in PR 96d127dd20
3. Revert "Remove BIP 3 text to make it show in PR"

   This reverts commit 96d127dd20e24cf5a99a00ab68a4c6cfeb421da3.

    Looks like scripts/buildtable.pl will need to be updated for the BIP3 headers changes.

    ---

    

    jonatack commented at 1:04 pm on April 13, 2025:

    e.g. update the required fields, Author -> Authors, remove the comments, update title length, update the licenses, update %MiscField, add checks for new fields like Deputies, etc.

28. BIP372: Drop redundant Discussions-To Header

    BIP2 states that the Discussions-To header should only be used if the
    proposal was discussed somewhere else beside the Bitcoin Developer
    Mailing List. Therefore, the only use of the Discussions-To header in
    the repository is unnecessary and can be removed before the header is
    abolished.

    I have updated the scripts/buildtable.pl in lock step with each of the changes so that the build script passes for every commit. The remaining tasks should probably be handled in follow-ups as they will take a variable amount of time.
