Yeah, but I think that there's a big difference about any developer |
| 20 |
being allowed to create a project under the gentoo umbrella and create |
| 21 |
a project and claim it as Gentoo sponsored without any review of the |
| 22 |
council. I agree that it can exists in the Github account, or even in |
| 23 |
our own infrastructure, but say that Gentoo supports it without a |
| 24 |
previous analysis of the council is wrong IMHO. |
