I don't think ego has anything to do with this. Arfrever brought this on |
46 |
himself. His [multiple] past mistakes and lack of cooperation are |
47 |
forcing the other devs to screen all his commits now, to make sure |
48 |
history doesn't repeat itself. |

Angelo, while I agree with your general thoughts on why everyone is |
51 |
contributing, I believe you should have gathered more intel before |
52 |
sending an email like this. We do respect Arfrever's motivation, we just |
53 |
need to make sure it translates to good, trustworthy work. If we didn't, |
54 |
his request to return to Gentoo would have been denied. |
