I never had any issue interacting with Peter Robinson so I would love to see a clarification. Could you point to a specific tickets where he caused problems so we could consider the outcome?

On Tuesday (2024-12-10), the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee
(FESCo) met in a private meeting to discuss whether Fedora contributor
Peter Robinson should retain his provenpackager privileges. Over the
last year, multiple private tickets have been opened with FESCo
regarding Peter’s packaging behavior. In particular, on numerous
occasions Peter has pushed uncommunicated updates to packages he has no
prior relationship with, interfering with those packages’ maintenance
efforts. On at least a few occasions, this has resulted in other
maintainers being forced to react to these changes with no coordination
or notice.
The Fedora Proven Packager Policy[1] reads: “Provenpackagers lend a hand
when help is needed, always with a desire to improve the quality of
Fedora. Prior to making changes, provenpackagers should try to
communicate with owners of a package in bugzilla, dist-git pull
requests, IRC, matrix, or email. They should be careful not to change
other people’s packages needlessly and try to do the minimal changes
required to fix problems, as explained more in depth in ‘Who is Allowed
to Modify Which Packages’[2].”
Despite several warnings and conversations with FESCo representatives,
Peter has continued to use his provenpackager privileges in an
unapproved manner, frequently causing additional work for other
maintainers. As a result of more than a month of debate in the latest
private FESCo ticket on his conduct, the Committee voted – seven in
favor, two against – to remove Peter from the provenpackager group in
Fedora. Peter will retain his status as a Fedora packager, but will not
be able to use provenpackager powers to bypass the review process on any
package for which he is not a co-maintainer.
FESCo would like to make this abundantly clear: this decision was not
made lightly, nor without consideration for Peter’s past contributions
to the Fedora Project. This decision is not irrevocable: Peter will be
permitted to re-apply in the future for provenpackager status, provided
he demonstrates a justified need for those privileges and remains in
good standing as a Fedora packager.
Signed,
