Hola, I thought the chief maintainer of a module had final say over the maintenance/development of a module and was given the power to revoke power if it is impossible to collaborate with an individual. The ex-communicated individual can then fork and continue to wage a meritocratic war as necessary.
It would be a damn shame if we hit a situation where we are losing people when healthy confrontation and defrocking would suffice. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emacs#XEmacs Toodles, Donald On Thu, Sep 19, 2013 at 7:51 AM, Frederik Gladhorn <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello Denis, > > first of all thank you for your efforts, I think the serial port module is a > really nice addition to the Qt Project and would not have happened without > your initiative. > > I'm really sad to hear of your struggles and would have hoped that we work in > a more constructive way inside the Qt Project.
