Where in the paragraph you quoted have I written anything about bad faith? A
lack of notification can happen by accident in good faith, as apparently
happened in the case that triggered the whole debate. (At least, Neal Gompa
swears it was an accident.) And without any kind of policy enforcing it, a
pledge to "make an effort to notify people" is not a guarantee. That is all
I stated.
Another issue that was not addressed by the proposal at all is that the
change at stake was resubmitted too late, after the change submission
deadline, and hence should not have been allowed on that ground.
In addition, being elected is not sufficient to guarantee good faith, as can
be seen in politics. Not to mention that, in Fedora elections, there is
often not enough competition for voters to vote out candidates they do not
trust.
