The "base-system" team maintains sys-libs/zlib, and he speaks for |
| 18 |
"base-system". I think it's fairly implicit that he's talking about |
| 19 |
packages maintained by him, and the teams he is in. Maintainers have |
| 20 |
the final say w.r.t. packages maintained by them, the rest of us can |
| 21 |
only give our opinion (except in extenuating circumstances). |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
To say it in precise words: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
* He speaks for his packages, not for all packages in-tree. |
| 26 |
* He speaks for himself, not all maintainers in-tree. |
| 27 |
* Gentoo is not an anthropomorphic entity with a single coherent |
| 28 |
opinion on anything unless decided by the council. |
