This is sooo vague & open to interpretation I can easily see how differences
of opinion can arise from this. If you send an email, how long do you have
to wait for a response ? If you don't get an email response do you have to
open a bugzilla too, or is lack of email response enough to allow you to go
ahead ? If 1 communication attempt is not sufficient, is two different
attempts sufficient, or do they have to try all 5 methods of communication
listed ? Combine that with "personal preferences" and it is surprising there
are not more conflicts seen.
However, none of the possible interpretations I could see is:
"I need this package updated for $reasons, so I'll go ahead and push my update
of a package (I have no affiliation with) directly to dist git, without any
communication what so ever about the fact before or after that. My update
renders the single Fedora package that depends on the package uninstallable." [1]
Yes, "if I send an email, how long do I wait" is a valid question. However,
when the provenpackager doesn't bother with that email at all, it is bad. If
they do so repeatedly, despite the package maintainers expressing their
disagreement, I believe their prevnepackager status should indeed be removed.
(I was not part of this particular discussion about pbrobinson as I am not on
FESCo and I did not open any private tickets about this. I am not happy about
how this was communicated and handled. I believe Peter should have had a chance
to "defend themselves", despite my opinion on the matter.)
