The Fedora Council met today. After our regular meeting (where we're taking
the next formal step in the gitforge process!) [1], we had a private video
call for about half an hour on this topic. As transparency is part of what's
at issue, we intentionally did not make any decisions in that call; we just
needed the higher bandwidth to help understand the situation. After, we
followed up with another ad-hoc public meeting [2].

>From this, we have two actions:

First, we ask FESCo to put their decision on hold while we investigate, and
to restore Peter's proven-packager access in the meantime.


Second, we are going to compile a factual report of what happened and when.

This is going to take some time (and would even without the holidays), and I
appreciate your patience. The specific situation connects into broad
questions about what "proven packager" should be — and even bigger ones
about what it means to be a package maintainer in Fedora. I hope that we can
improve how we collaborate and communicate overall. Once we have a full
understanding, we will make recommendations on next steps, and possibly
adjust Council policies.
