Re: Demoting peers

At one time there were a few modules with "emeritus" peers: these were essentially formerly active peers that don't do much any more. I liked that label because it gave people a "badge" of accomplishment, without burdening them with daily responsibility. But I can't find any references to this any

Making Nick Alexander owner of the Fennec build sub-module

2016-12-15 Thread Gregory Szorc
There is currently a sub-module of the Build Config module governing the Fennec build system. The peers are all the Build Config peers plus Nick Alexander. I am the current owner. The sub-module was created to allow Fennec's build system to have some autonomy from the overall build system and to h
