They are related projects, both under the same Community Resources project. 3 |
| 8 |
of 5 recruiters are members of comrel. |

The number of new developers is very important relating to the number that may |
| 12 |
have been driven away, either kicked out, or like me motivated to retired/ |
| 13 |
resign. Or had action taken against them. |

If say comrel took action against 5 in a year, and say 10 were recruited. That |
| 16 |
is bad stats for Gentoo as a whole. If more are being effected by comrel than |
| 17 |
recruited in a year even worse. Again that is very important information to |
| 18 |
know. |

They already have. It is where I found out that you have to REQUEST a vote |
| 27 |
from all members of comrel. Which implies that any one can act without a vote |
| 28 |
from all. I have never read this before and I just learned about it with this |
| 29 |
post. |

"As also documented there, if you disagree you can request a full comrel team |
| 32 |
vote. " |

Even more interesting, it say as documented there, referencing my bug. I think |
| 37 |
that is hardly the place for official information on comrel. With regard to |
| 38 |
requesting a vote from all members. |

That has been my main point since 2008. An entity that should resolve |
| 44 |
problems, instead creates them, and makes them much bigger and worse. That is |
| 45 |
my assumption, but facts can show one way or another. I hope I am wrong, but |
| 46 |
if I am right... |
