Perhaps I am reading this thread wrong, but it seems that it would alienate some people, yes. I will not say that "me included" as I really do not have the rights to claim so. I have not done much KDE contribution lately, but if I were thinking of doing that again, this would be a negative point for me. It would not be major, but still. By the way, exceptions made for github might have more unforeseeable consequences than you may now think. It can easily go beyond the scope of github within the KDE infrastructure. What if people start asking for exceptions in other areas, too, referring to the github exceptions? > -- > Vishesh Handa > _______________________________________________ > kde-community mailing list > [email protected] > https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-community _______________________________________________ kde-community mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-community
