I was referring to Owen. Regardless, I think that's the point: Owen seems to be worried he will lose his strong control over the project, as the group of committers grows. Thus, he attempts to invalidate certain people from committing. > 2) The committers have a range of skills, so that some of them are > qualified to review code commits, and others are qualified to review > design commits, and others are qualified to review documentation > commits.

If they think of themselves as competent enough to review a patch, why should others be second guessing them? And clearly that's how it is: people only review patches which they are comfortable with. From what I hear, Owen seems to think he should be responsible for arbitrarily deciding some committers are not competent enough to review patches. This reeks of attempting to subvert the project and weaken other PMC members. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/habari-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
