I agree that it was my mistake to not follow team policy. I should not have done this and I apologized for this. I should have written this e-mail first to change a policy that does not fit my experiences in other teams as well as what obviously several contributors consider inappropriate. To solve this I started this discussion and meanwhile created a MR[1]. The demotivating part was the wording to point me to the policy. I addressed this with the words "I wonder whether I should propose another change to the policy about maintaining a kind and polite language inside the team - but that's a different thing." in my initial mail[2]. To make sure this will really clear I added the proposed change in a second MR[3] containing the following diff: --- a/policy.rst +++ b/policy.rst @@ -169,6 +169,16 @@ To be merged, a policy update needs the approval of at least one team administrator. +Code of Conduct +=============== + +The Debian Python team members agree to the +`Debian Code of Conduct <https://www.debian.org/code_of_conduct>` +and strive to create a kind and inviting atmosphere among team members. +We are welcoming newcomers and will be open to questions to get them +starting. + + Kind regards Andreas.
