Well, you were kicked from this project, and those who kicked you |
| 12 |
shouldn't be allowed to have their cake and eat it too. If you were |
| 13 |
kicked because you were deemed to be "bad" for Gentoo development, |
| 14 |
then presumably those reasons still apply and you shouldn't be allowed |
| 15 |
to participate in Gentoo development currently as you have been. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
If those reasons no longer apply, then your developer status should be |
| 18 |
handed back. You can't "sorta" participate - you're either in or |
| 19 |
you're not, and it looks like you're in. Right now it seems like you |
| 20 |
are fully engaged as a developer in an official Gentoo project. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
So I think some people should decide whether removing you from Gentoo |
| 23 |
development was the correct decision and should be enforced or was a |
| 24 |
mistake and should be corrected. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Presumably, you were kicked for non-technical reasons. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I'd just like the council/devrel to take a position one way or the other. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
I'm not trying to get you kicked as much as I'm trying to determine |
| 31 |
whether there are still clearly-defined rules for Gentoo development |
| 32 |
that are enforced in any meaningful or consistent way. |
