[tl;dr: Richard is disappointed that I didn't advocate him for DM, while I did advocate other team members shortly after.]
Hi Richard, Re: Richard B Winters 2016-06-22 <204e2c0e01254a766699d615036d2...@mail.mmogp.com> > During that time I worked with Christoph Berg, he advised not to play with > repository structure too > much - and asked that I didn't do more than I had to to get the stack working > again. I didn't recommend any particular repository structure. What I did recommend was not to bikeshed about that, stop discussing the layout, and start the real work. > Ferenc disregards all my work and makes his own repository on github (instead > of contributing to > the team repository) so that he can structure branches how he wants and move > to DEP-14 (I was never > opposed to that, but its exactly what Christoph asked me not to do when I > suggested it based off of > conversations I had with Ferenc) - and after Christoph states that he doesn't > care for > bike-shedding and had been working with me already on some of the packages > along with Adrian; he > reneged with regard to Ferenc's new repository (which was now missing all of > my changelog entries > which cataloged my contributions to the package, the very thing I didn't do - > but which Ferenc > complained about himself). It was suboptimal that Feri's changes were often staged elsewhere, but this was communicated, and I think now everything relevant is on git.debian.org. > Yes, after Debconf Christoph's whole demeanor towards me changed; He > blatantly started uploading > each and every one of Ferenc's packages, 'mindfully' attempting to accept the > ruby packages I > worked on - I'm guessing to try to make me feel better and shut me up. And > all he had to offer was Sorry if uploading your packages was wrong. Would it have been better to not do anything? At that point, corosync and pacemaker were the next packages in the stack that needed to be done. "Your" pcs and crmsh packages were due after that. That was the reason for the ordering. > a 'Sorry if your changelog entries got removed'. Sure I was still in the > uploaders field or > whatever, but the changes I made to code were no longer noted. I don't fancy changelog bikeshedding. All your changes made it into the next package, though possibly after re-re-rebasing them through whatnot git operations, the changelogs were a mess. I'd care more about getting the problems fixed. > I had also asked Christoph to advocate me as a maintainer 6-8 months prior to > now, which was > already almost a year after I had started working with the Debian-HA > packages.

Now, months > after that, Christoph is advocating Ferenc as a DD. Richard I'm sorry to have to say that: You were not ready to be advocated for DM, while Ferenc was. I like mumbled something like "later" when you asked me about it. I should have been more explicit about this. > If you cannot tell, this is a play of favoritism, and isn't right.

The all caps part was when you insisted that you were removed from the Uploaders fields and wouldn't listen to me trying to tell you that this was just wrong. You have been in the Uploaders fields of all relevant packages all the time. Christoph
