ACK for BIP70 & BIP71. NACK for BIP72: It's incomplete. (See discussion about chain of trust between BIP21 PR and BIP70 PR)

@schildbach : can you be more specific about what you mean by "incomplete" ? Certainly there are multiple implementations creating BIP72 URLs right now, so I believe 'Active' is the correct status, even if the BIP is imperfect (perfection is not the criteria for Active status).

Ok, I thought you mean "Accepted" rather than "Active". In this case I revoke my ACKs and change it to NACK for all: Refering to the definition of the Active state in BIP1, BIP7x's should be meant to be completed.
I will reply to the BIP72 issue separately.

re BIP72: The problem is trust. If you scan a QR code from a foreign phone (or use tap-to-pay), you trust that that phone is owned by the one you want to send money to. BIP72 introduces this indirections via r= parameter but it fails to extend the trust to whatever resource is behind the URL.
Mike has once proposed to requiring the BIP70 PR to be signed with a key that matches the address from the BIP21 PR. I think that would be a reasonable easy way fix to the problem.

BIP1 is really fuzzy when it comes to the "Active" status and apparently it's not meant for what it sounds like. As schildbach also mentions - "Some Informational and Process BIPs may also have a status of "Active" if they are never meant to be completed. E.g. BIP 1 (this BIP)."

Closing this; according to BIP1 the statuses should be Final, not Active. This was fixed in later pulls.
