Looking at traffic going both ways I don't think it was meant harshly or |
| 11 |
etc. More a surprise to the current maintainer. That they weren't |
| 12 |
contacted to get their feedback on something they are directly |
| 13 |
responsible for. Before going over their heads or around the bush to get |
| 14 |
opinions from others. |

I don't think it was intentionally done. But usually, not sure if it's |
| 17 |
stated in policy, it's best to try to contact a maintainer first, |
| 18 |
directly. If one exists, if not the someone maintaining the herd then. |
| 19 |
Discussing and ideas, thoughts, issues, etc there. Then based on that, |
| 20 |
elevate the conversation to say -dev ml or etc for all to be involved. |

I am sure lots of us have lots of ideas about allot of packages. But |
| 23 |
only a few of us take enough time to commit to being a packages |
| 24 |
maintainer. Those willing to put their neck on the line should be the |
| 25 |
first stop, IMHO. |

Simple misunderstanding miss-communication. :) |
