Re: [gentoo-project] Comrel Improvements: Expectations of Privacy

[Raymond Jennings]

I think the fact that this post about comrel wound up stirring up angry 
hurt feelings from the past is evidence that there may have been some 
serious errors in the past.

I would at least like to see that this sort of mistake doesn't happen 
again.

William's appeal, though apparently meritorious, might be off topic to 
this general discussion about comrel policy?

Ok, so the issues I see so far

* William was apparently never notified of the ban from nfp

Solution: When someone is banned from any venue, they are notified by 
some sort of official means.  NOBODY should be surprised after the 
fact, especially if comrel intends to enforce consequences with 
suspending developer privileges in the event of a breach.

If this is not already the case, it should be.

I would propose:

- When someone has been removed or blocked or banned, and they are a 
gentoo developer, in addition to the enforcement measures, there should 
be an email sent to the developer's @gentoo address or some other means 
of communication that is registered.

- If this notification is not issued, then comrel should not suspend 
people for violating the ban if they didn't know about it.
