The maintainer is the one that is supposed to be responsible for the package, and even a trivial bump can affect the workflow e.g. with testing the package in overlay before bringing it into the tree. Maybe the maintainer knew of some issues with the new version that needed to be sorted out the bug, or even upcoming security issues where a person that is not the maintainer would not have been invited into a RESTRICTED bug for instance. So yes, that kind of behaviour can be damaging in a broader scope. > I'd appreciate it if we could get a more community thingy going I agree on this, although community thingy doesn't mean we always have to agree on issues, just that we need to respect each other enough to discuss them in a civil manner, and maybe even get along and have fun in the process. > > > So anyway. > > We don't need more rules, we need less complaining, and more > fixing.
