I think everyone should take a deep breath and then we should re-start the
conversation with the purpose of learning and improving because at the
moment it seems that emotions are way to high.

As I see it - and as usual, I'm new to the party so I don't have historical
context:

* Subversion release process dictate to announce first, update website
later. There is a reason for it but we can improve on the process. I've
raised this at dev@ and received positive feedback from stsp.
* The RM an honest mistake and forgot to update the download page on the
website. He has admitted and apologized. No problem, we all make mistakes,
right?
* Moderation rejected the announce mail quite harshly. I would agree that
the missing links was reasonable cause to /hold back/ the announcement, but
I think it was done in a way (tone and outright rejection instead of
reaching out "hey, did you forget to update the download page?") that
didn't invite to further communication. (I'm not comenting on the KEYS file
issue, I wasn't around last time and I don't have the time to look up the
policy, but from what I understand this was a minor issue).

As far as I understand everyone in the Subversion project are volunteers. I
don't know about the moderators but I assume they are as well. We need to
treat eachother with respect and try to find the most efficient way for the
community as a whole and not just "looking from the perspectiv of ****".

Kind regards,
Daniel Sahlberg
