About the policy: |
15 |
According to GLEP 48, QA can take action against any package not |
16 |
adhering to their standards at their own discretion, and also define |
17 |
what is an emergency all by themselves (i.e. act before or after |
18 |
checking with the maintainer). |
19 |
|
20 |
The maintainer has the possibility to take it to Council if he |
21 |
disagrees. But until then, QA's decision stands. |
22 |
|
23 |
I also don't think that GLEP 48 mandates that QA informs anybody about |
24 |
their actions in any way. |
