I'm against this idea - conflict resolution, I prefer the term |
| 19 |
mediation, is not something that the typical Gentoo developer is very |
| 20 |
good at. For sure, they have been involved in conflicts themselves but |
| 21 |
rarely, if ever, as a mediator. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I think very few developers would stand for the role - its hard work |
| 24 |
ask any parent who has mediated between their offspring. |
| 25 |
I would prefer mediation to draw from a pool of volunteers, probably |
| 26 |
vetted by some trusted group and assigned to issues after their |
| 27 |
neutrality in any particular case had been determined by some method |
| 28 |
involving the protagonists. Elected mediators may well turn out to be |
| 29 |
unsuitable for the role. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
For myself, I would not stand for election to this role but I might |
| 32 |
volunteer to help out from time to time. |
