I've amended my proposal to the following: Sponsors should expect to participate in the review of at least one NEEDSPONSOR ticket per year, assuming there are sufficient new packagers who require sponsorship and sufficient packages within the realm of expertise of the sponsor to fulfill this requirement. Although that isn't the cleanest of constructions, ugh. MS> What if there are sponsors with expertise in special areas, who are MS> available to help'n'sponsor other contributors in such areas only? That was intended to be covered by the "assuming there are sufficient..." language in the proposal. I have revised it as above since it obviously wasn't clear to all. MS> What do you gain by removing sponsors so violently? Firstly, I must state that I believe your definition of "violence" must differ significantly from mine. I do not believe I have mentioned any type of "physical force intended to hurt, damage or kill someone or something" or "strength of emotion or an unpleasant or destructive or natural force". I sincerely hope I'm not just being trolled here, because I've put a lot of effort into this and I chose my words carefully. Now, I do request that you re-read my proposal. There is one instance of language involving loss of sponsorship: Loss of sponsorship is automatic if the account goes inactive or is disabled (in FAS terminology). It can always be requested again. I don't see what value there is in keeping sponsorship status on accounts which have been marked inactive. Those accounts have no access to any Fedora infrastructure in any case. Why should they show up in any list of prospective sponsors?

I'm really not seeing the need for the drama here. MS> Sponsors can leave the group in FAS themselves. Of course they can. Perhaps if my proposal is accepted you can submit your very reasonable proposal for how sponsors leave the group. I've rather intentionally left it out of my proposal because I've wanted to avoid just this type of discussion. - J< -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
