"If the disagreement involves a member of the TC" does IMHO not preclude commenting on a patch. For a disagreement we need 2 parties. For example one party who wants a patch in and one who blocks the patch. or 2 parties where both block the other. Being a party of a disagreement would not make anyones opinon invalid. But I think it is reasonable that parties of a disagreement cannot be the judge of the disagreement. > but not if I kept it to > myself and let someone else object to your patch? I think the deatils of this would matter. If a TC member simply does nothing and has no involvement and someone else objects, sure thet TC member could vote. OTOH if a TC member asks someone else to object to hide a conflict of interrest and then votes. IMO Thats a severe breach of trust and that person should not be in any committee thx [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB Breaking DRM is a little like attempting to break through a door even though the window is wide open and the only thing in the house is a bunch of things you dont want and which you would get tomorrow for free anyway
