Please don't assume trelane's spat with ciaran has anything to do with me,
as ciaran later tries to assert. trelane has nothing to do with me, and I
nothing to do with him wrt Gentoo. I just happen to prefer to build from
funtoo stages, is the reason we've met online. My pet project is Gentoo,
since it's what I've stuck my neck out to recommend professionally.

I thought we were discussing future Council directions.

No, let's just point to your bad behaviour as I have experienced over a
significant period of time, with no-one ever picking you up on it, besides
me after I got over my initial shock at your incredible rudeness:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/53711/focus=53817
(note that your answer about emake is dependent on your inability to sort
out things like find and {e,}make in BASH, or subshell dies last time it
came up.)
Note also that Duncan posted here
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/53825
..about the simple solution we could have done then, the same solution I
discussed in the project article I posted about on dev. Nearly two years
wasted on this crap, when as UberLord said back then: "metadata in a file
name is pure and simple hackery that has no place here and the GLEP is a
flimsy attempt to justify it."
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.cvs/93817/focus=58557
I cba to find any more; let's just say it's pretty much a consensus that you
violate the CoC lots, and have done over a period of years. That's why you
got thrown out twice.

Hmm it's more systemic and strategic if you want fancy words for it. As I
said in the other mail, you've wasted a lot of everyone's time, simply
because you're so unpleasant. Gentoo is now in the untenable position of
telling downstream projects "We threw him out, but you have to work with
him if you want any new EAPI features."

I'm fine with Gentoo PMS. Just not under your supervision. Like it or not,
social skills affect collaborative development.
Since you apparently get on fine with some people, why not just work with
them and treat Gentoo as your downstream?
