YYMMDD is also a cool idea! I used it in one of previous projects.

What I don't like in your proposal are initials - since 2020 I worked in the environments where all folks were invited in making architectural decisions (that's the way I always try to push as an architect), therefore it would make no sense to add any initials :)

That's entirely fair, and precisely why I posted the framework. Thank you!

I guess what I'm solving for is trying to tag a specific person or group with why a decision got made, which... if there was an easy way to do that, politics would be a lot cleaner. Removing that, and just adding many-to-one tags for authors in-document, seems like it'll get to most of the desired requirement.

Totally understandable!
