Anton Khirnov (12024-02-22):
In my updated proposal, based on comments by Niklas and Rémi, I'm
leaving it up to the TC member in question, based on the assumption that
TC members are honest.

A "stronger" version could conceivably leave it to CC to decide
ambiguous cases. Feel free to propose such a version if you prefer it.
Your version does nothing to address the issue of the current situation,
where the contributor who has to raise an issue in front of the TC does
not trust one member of the TC to be unbiased on this issue.

Just to be clear, that's not my basis.

I said,

"As a TC member who is part of the disagreement, I believe your participation is recused."

based on the existing rule,

"If the disagreement involves a member of the TC, that member should recuse themselves from the decision"

Disagreement implies the existence of opposing sides, so discussion members from both sides are barred from the TC proceedings. The wiggle room in interpretation is over whether 'involves' captures all participants, including minor ones, or just the principal interlocutors. Note that the rule says nothing about patch authorship or asymmetry in its application.

Anton's original disagreement, as I understand it, is about the propriety of the rule i.e. he believes that pre-existing public opposition (or agreement) on the issue should not bar a TC member. That's a disagreement with the rule, not with its interpretation.

Regards,
Gyan
