I haven't been following the list super closely the last several months but
afaik most people seemed to agree in principle that a 'do the right thing'
default config would be nice. Obviously as Bart said everyone is going to want
to discuss exactly what that entails — it seems like just proposing the file
with the settings you want would be a good way to start that process? Whether
you do the work on GitLab or not doesn't matter, but most of the actual
discussion would presumably be on the list

I had started on my own fork of that repo at the time:

  https://gitlab.com/okdana/zsh-sensible/-/blob/dana/sensible/zshrc

But i ran out of steam after getting through the basics Daniel had originally
included, and didn't think i'd have the energy to defend the more
'opinionated' choices i was starting to make. I was also unsure about how much
explanatory text to include; i wanted to avoid an OMZ situation where nobody
who uses it knows what any of it actually does, but re-inventing the manual
was probably too far in the other direction

Maybe an inspiration, anyway
