I fail to see any wrong behavior here. A bug report was created and a review of the changes was requested. The first reaction came after several weeks after the bug filing, and the first objection almost two months after the change was applied. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=455074 Then the maintainer came and masked his package, which I see nothing wrong with either. Except for the violation of visibility requirements only in this particular case. > By the way folks, a better > job also involves communication and behaviour which is what we all > generally suck at. When someone asks about changing a package which someone else maintains, I always suggest reporting a bug about it. Do you think that is generally ok, or not the proper way to communicate?
