When a company president writes in a company-wide email distribution list (or even more public, say including customers, press, ...) that "several individuals shared with me that members of dept. X are abusive" (say in a thread why the company president thinks that dept. X must be restructured), what do you think that leaves as a impression of the dept. X? If the company president later writes "I didn't even think these allegations are true", does that make it better? Would you want to work under that company president (in dept. X or elsewhere)? Is it better if a project leader does that on a world-wide public mailing list? Should we expect in a mail about the technical committee a repeat of allegations that the technical committee was bought by Canonical/Red Hat/others, that the committee abused processes to push systemd, that the committee willfully ignored processes to force usrmerge, ...? After all such allegations continue to be made by project members (not even random community members) just a few days ago (I guess bitter rearguard battles were promised and people want to deliver...). And there are far worse allegations out there. Should we expect these to be repeated as well? > > I'll add DAM and the community team as this seems problematic. > > Could you please elaborate on what exactly you consider problematic? Given you did not bother stating the allegations are likely false, it did leave me with the impression you think they are true. In that case they surely seem serious enough? Ansgar
