These are false accusations. I have followed the BIP process
consistently for years. Your novice opinions alone do not establish new
processes.
You are the one who stopped communicating, not I.
You are the one who should be removed.

Hello everyone,
I recommend that Luke Dashjr be removed from the position of BIP Editor.
Over the past several years, Luke has been at the center of many
contentious disputes within the Bitcoin ecosystem, and this week a new
forkcoin spun out of Bitcoin under his leadership.
More specifically, Luke was heavily involved in the creation and
implementation of BIP110, the proposal that led to the fork. During
that process, he also exercised his authority as a BIP Editor
inconsistently with the established editorial process unfairly
favoring the proposal he was involved in. For example, he attempted to
assign a BIP number to the draft publicly on Twitter before the
proposal had been discussed on the mailing list, and he merged a PR
updating the BIP within minutes of the PR being opened.
The latter is particularly notable given that Luke has otherwise made
hardly any contributions to the day-to-day work of the BIP Editors
since the additional editors began serving in April 2024: he left
fewer than 1% of the BIP Editor comments in the repository since then,
and the merge action of this PR was his first since May 2024.
Communication between Luke and other BIP Editors had already broken
down last year, following a discussion about his attempt to side-step
the process by prematurely assigning a BIP number out of band.
Taken together, I believe these circumstances raise serious concerns
about Luke continuing to hold editorial authority. In particular:
- he has exercised his editorial privileges in a manner that raises
conflict-of-interest concerns;
- he has contributed little to the ongoing workload of the BIP Editors;
- his recent championing of a contentious soft fork that now appears
to evolve into a hard fork represents a complete departure from the
Bitcoin development ecosystem; and
- trust, communication, and coordination with the other BIP Editors
have broken down.
For these reasons, I motion that Luke be removed as a BIP Editor.
