The wiki states "currently limited to GNU Maintainers". It does not explicitly state that being a GNU maintainer is sufficient to guarantee access, although it does state "wiki for GNU Maintainers". I see no ambiguity here, it's intended audience is GNU maintainers, non-maintainers are not invited yet. It states that the wiki is governed by a code of conduct. In today's legal climate, it's almost required to have such a thing when you invite others to be contributors (such as GNU requiring a copyright assignment, this wiki requires a CoC agreement). The CoC does not seem onerous, it basically says "don't be a jerk". If your life goal is to be a jerk, expect to be not welcome in all sorts of places, including GNU projects. > Until this distinction becomes more clear, pointing out the difference > helps prevent misunderstanding. Incessantly pointing out the difference, as the sole point of an entire email, does not add anything to the conversation.
