Power, including the PMC, should be used responsibly. Personal sympathies are not a good signpost; performance alone should count. These things are also a very simple question of the sense of justice and where performance is no longer judged fairly, our project AOO suffers. And there should be no doubt: Detlef undoubtedly deserves to be a committer, only others have that to the same degree. And whoever apparently excludes these others from it(*), makes his opinion clear. (*) Or were others also asked and refused? (I had already asked Peter this question.)
