Indeed. A pattern that we must avoid on this list and in this project.
If you the BZ history you would have seen that I reopened the BZ after
Pedro closed it, and I gave a detailed justification why. Pedro then
immediately re-closed it.
Nobody should forget that we have a common goal here. The project has
largely improved in being welcoming, but some behaviors, even when
formally correct in themselves, risk to damage our progress. For
example: being confontational, repeatedly posting to endless threads,
pointing fingers, quoting as if we were in a legal battle and, above
all, expressing distrust of fellow committers.
The Bugzilla issue being discussed is really minor. One solution
(leaving it open) is probably better, but if someone prefers to set it
WONTFIX this won't affect the project at all. Just let it be. Please
relax in tone, attitude and pace (many posts to this thread today). And
move to more important topics.
Remember: a thread like this one drains project resources and reduces
the visibility of more important topics. There are lots of things to do
in the project and the mailing lists must be a welcoming place for
everyone. Demotivating a committer brings more problems than mishandling
a trivial Bugzilla issue does: let's simply trust that committers do
what they think it's best for this project, that disagreeing is natural,
that personalizing is bad.
I suggest that we leave the Bugzilla issue in whatever state it is now
since trying to fix it might bring more social damage than the technical
problem we have. Just move on and keep long (but respectful and
right-paced) discussions for important issues.
Regards,
Andrea.
