Hi,

Let’s also take up the formal part of the request.

Also, some actions might be taken to prevent from happening in the future - if 
technically possible, I’d like to request the revoke of his approver rights on 
the Qbs project as per this part of the Qt Governance Model:
«In extreme circumstances Approver privileges can be revoked by a vote of no 
confidence, proposed by an existing Approver or Maintainer and arranged by the 
Chief Maintainer. Privilege revocation requires a two-thirds majority vote of 
those Approvers and Maintainers who express an opinion.» [3]

The question is whether this is an abuse of approver rights.

This is a relevant question for the Qt project. Any person with approver
rights has the ability to cause a production stop. Ivan is asking for help
in this particular case and I am seconding his request.

Ivan and Richard, do I understand you correctly that you’d like to have a 
formal vote of no confidence according to QUIP-2? Please understand that this 
clause is meant as a last resort, when other solutions have failed.

We will also need to consider that the Qt Governance Model only defines global 
Approver rights for all of the Qt Project. The request was however limited to 
QBS, so we would need to find a way to handle this. I can only see two options 
there, either we start extending our governance model here (can be done with a 
lazy consensus on that extension), or change the scope to the whole project 
having much more severe implications.


Ossi, I (and probably others on this mailing list) would also like to hear your 
view on this. As I stated in my previous mail in this thread, I strongly 
believe, that the people doing the actual work decide on the direction and 
individual changes. The Governance model states the same, the maintainer takes 
the decision in case no agreement can be reached. As far as I can see, your 
actions are conflicting with this.

Thank you,
Lars
