It would be great to have a list of rules that are controversial in your opinion (or the OpenWrt side in general), or even a proposal for a new set of rules, so we have something concrete to discuss. > > I do not know what was discussed in detail here but I am strongly > against personal project email addresses for outgoing communication. > > In my opinion a personal contribution record should stand for itself and > leveraging *@openwrt.org sender credibility to get stuff accepted which > would otherwise get rejected leaves a bad taste. > > Doing that would encourage people to try to get part of the project > solely to take advantage of the added credibility as "door opener".

While I don't see people trying to get into the project just to get a mail address as a serious threat, I generally agree with the rule not to allow personal project mail addresses. But I guess this is also the most controversial point of our rules... Matthias
