The Wikipedia policy and guidelines pages says that one way that 
policies are decided, are by Jimbo himself.

Does Jimbo have to physically update the policy page himself for his 
word to become law, or do his mailing list comments on policy 
clarification carry equal weight, or does the community have to 
decide on his comments and have a consensus?
