But turn it around as well. Consider someone who was a committer but went inactive before the package came to Apache. Now it's at the ASF, and he becomes active again, but doing so in a problematic way -- say, ignoring vetos or raising them excessively. (Pathological case.) Do you believe the project would be ready to revoke his commit access until he learned to behave and work with the community? Cases in the past in which commit access was revoked have turned out to be universally very, very unpleasant. It's like laying someone off. And as a rule, people on both sides hate a layoff, and will put up with enormous crap to avoid it and the bad feeling it engenders all round. - -- #ken P-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Ken.Coar.Org/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ "Millennium hand and shrimp!" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQCVAwUBRBlcPJrNPMCpn3XdAQJ85gQAm4Rnae8o1+zMChG6oFIpkCFePji/Zspw CXot8woUBVJdAl1T5ybZ4eyokShfPYfoVU/eZjnq0wPZc0ppUgxRLogoczkeVlTa R3v/8DoTAF+FxRc8bs2wdH/Xvs5KX9Hvnb9B8XYTo2tv2q8epyjObADzoktF8+br JCO5lLEQF1w= =SS23 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
