After thinking about this, I think it is ok for QA team to revoke privileges for a specific developer. However, devrel must be responsible for making this decision permanent or give the developer another chance or whatever. As many of you have already said, it is devreal who deals with humans not QA.
The x,y,z months+quiz solution seems an overkill to me. The lead must be able to evaluate and say whether someone is good enough for QA or not. Having people doing more and more quizzes is not that smart. However, it might be nice if we assign one mentor (member of QA team) to each of the new QA members and have the mentor taking care of his apprentice for like a month or so. QA team is far too understaffed (like everything else in Gentoo) so we should focus more on how to bring more people in QA team and train them within under real circumstances.
