Well, you spoke of "owing users", and "the right to open a bug and watch for |
| 12 |
progress reports" combined with this: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
"right now you are the kind of person that thinks being a volunteer is a |
| 15 |
privilege and not a responsibility. You think that because you don't get paid |
| 16 |
that you don't have to do it. I assure you that if you look at most non foss |
| 17 |
volunteer jobs you either have to do your job or quit. it is the same in open |
| 18 |
source. perhaps I'm judging you wrongly." -- |

It seems like you want to tell us how to do our jobs. It seems like you think |
| 22 |
you have the right to tell us what to do. Now, I'm happy to be wrong about those |
| 23 |
views, but that's what it looks like to me. |

The point is that you don't know whether someone else has a good judgement of |
| 34 |
better. People that have been taking care of certain parts of the tree may just |
| 35 |
know something you don't. This is why we encourage people to talk to maintainers |
| 36 |
when they touch their packages but also encourage maintainers not to feel too |
| 37 |
possessive. |

I've answered that above. |

On your blog[1] you imply that if you decide to not, that you wouldn't be able |
| 52 |
to "to talk to people to understand something". I just want to stress that this |
| 53 |
is not so. Many of us are available on #gentoo-dev-help and this mailing list |
| 54 |
for technical questions. |
