Hello fellow humans, |

this is a brief headsup about my current inability to communicate |
| 5 |
through the official channel bugs.gentoo.org because of what seems like |
| 6 |
a ComRel[1] action[2] suspending my account. If you have important |
| 7 |
information to share on the many hundreds of packages I maintain, do |
| 8 |
not hesitate to use my e-mail address directly or approach me on IRC |
| 9 |
(Freenode or OFTC). |
| 10 |
|

|
| 12 |
Kind regards, |
| 13 |

This wasn't infra, this was me. Following a complaint on #g-comrel, I |
| 47 |
checked the bug backlog and saw that you changed (likely much) more |
| 48 |
than 50 bugs in a very short time. On a quick glance the changes were |
| 49 |
against longstanding policy. |

|
| 51 |
Thank you for getting back. |

* If you see the necessity to change a long-standing guideline, |
| 54 |
* and if that involves a lot of people getting a lot of non-informative |
| 55 |
bugmail ("spam"), |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
I would be very grateful if you could |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
* inform the community about the policy change on the mailing lists, |
| 60 |
* and coordinate with Infra so the mails are suppressed somehow. |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
Thank you. I will happily re-activate your account if you agree to |
| 63 |
this, otherwise I'll defer a decision on that to the rest of comrel and |
| 64 |
a vote. |

That is part of the problem. |
