It happened the last time access privs started mysteriously |
10 |
disappearing without any kind of communication. |

The problem isn't the access suspension, it's that I find out about it |
21 |
by trying to log on to bugzilla and get told to look at two bugs that I |
22 |
can't access, and then am leaked information about it by three different |
23 |
Gentoo people all of whom say "I'm passing this on from a secret IRC |
24 |
channel, so don't tell anyone it came from me". It's also because this |
25 |
isn't the first time that this has happened. |

I want it to be somewhere where we can all work on it. That's the |
34 |
important part. |

|
36 |
As the people involved have come clean and admitted their mistake, and |
37 |
presumably have updated their procedures so it won't happen again, I'll |
38 |
happily let it slide this time if people prefer. Still, this kind of |
39 |
thing really doesn't inspire confidence. |
