Dont you already "clearly state the some developer is "persona non grata" in |
| 9 |
out project" by taking the right to use the official communication channels |
| 10 |
away from that person? |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Why shouldnt Dev, who is a friend of xyz although xyz has been banned from all |
| 13 |
official ways to submit code to the project, read one of xyz's patches, like |
| 14 |
them, submit them to bugzilla or whatever, get others to like them too, and |
| 15 |
have them added to the project? |
| 16 |
You would require every developer to agree on never ever doing this. |
| 17 |
And - i dont see why that argument of ciaran is bad (or at least not talked |
| 18 |
about any further): What about security patches? It just wouldnt make any |
| 19 |
sense. |
| 20 |
If someone, although banned from all communication channels, gets his code |
| 21 |
into gentoo, why not let it be - she/he had no chance to offend anyone, and |
| 22 |
Gentoo wouldnt be dependent upon this person, as the developer who sends this |
| 23 |
patch as his input will be the responsible person - and will be in trouble if |
| 24 |
he doesnt understand the code himself or something similarly naive... |
