So as I understand it: * Andreas argues that he became the lead/sole maintainer with his commit of 2005-02-02 and that he is therefore the current maintainer. * Raphael argues that that commit isn't definitive and that we should regard Raphael and Andreas as co-maintainers. ?
This is relevant for deciding what the status quo is but not for any other purpose AIUI. The TC will probably tend towards the status quo by default, but it's certainly not definitive. I'd like to ask Andreas and Raphael how they each propose to handle the maintainership of this package in future. It seems clear to me that Andreas wants to be the primary maintainer and to reserve the authority to make changes, grant commit access, etc. Andreas: do you have any assistants/colleagues/etc. who would be willing to help you with that so that you don't become a bottleneck ? Raphael says he wants a team. Raphael: what team did you have in mind ? Who will help you ? I'd also like each of you to answer: if the TC rules in your favour, how do you plan to deal with your opponent in this dispute ? Another possible way for the TC to decide on this kind of question is to ask the developers to each prepare a package and then for the TC to choose between them. Do you think that would be appropriate in this case ? Would it be a fair fight ? How long would you need ? Ian. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
