Thank you for sharing them. This was the first and, in all likelihood the last time such an unusual circumstance will arise. There is no right or wrong way of handling these things. Had we included x then y would have felt excluded, this is what we are seeing here. However, the line must be drawn somewhere. If there is a problem from the project perspective then this should be dealt with in the ooo-dev list. the PPMC has an appointed security team who are empowered to handle these circumstances for the PPMC, if a member of the PPMC does not like the way this was handled then they should petition to become a member of that security team. >From an IPMC perspective please note that the decision for in-out was not a matter of trust, it was a matter of minimum necessary oversight to solve the problem in the way the ooo-security, advised by the ASF security team, wanted to do so. The only non-security people involved were myself (as an active mentor and initial contact for the PPMC security team), Shane (due to potential branding impact) and Joe (for infrastructure support). VP legal was also involved via the legal-internal list for obvious reasons. Noone else was *needed* and so noone else was involved. Under normal circumstances IPMC chair would be included, but we effectively had none at this point, officially it was Noel, but Noel was being attacked from all sides at this point and his style of leadership was to have people just get on with it. If Jukka were chair with his active leadership style things might have been different. In retrospect I believe a valid argument for involving all mentors can be made and, if I were involved in such a situation again I would probably want to do so. Having said that, if I saw someone handle it the same way as this situation was handled I would not be objecting. There is no right way.
