Sorry, but look up humour in a dictionary of your choice. The guy |
| 11 |
with the paperweight has been a valuable contributor to the Alpha port |
| 12 |
including preparing the releases for that architecture. If you had read |
| 13 |
his announcement completely you would have seen what kind of service he |
| 14 |
provided for the project...for years! |

No, same rights for everybody. Even Daniel Robbins (founder of |
| 23 |
Gentoo) took the quizees the normal way. when he returned. |

As long as somebody cares about the bugs, it works quite well...if |
| 31 |
nobody responds to them, any system is useless. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |

Sometimes I do commits in other project's garden...because I need a |
| 39 |
bug closed. I warn them one week at least before doing the actual |
| 40 |
change so somebody can stop me. |

Fine, you can help him take the quiz. |
