Hello everyone,
It appears I sent this email intended for the Community Working Group to
the public community email list instead. Autocomplete failed me and I
failed to detect the error before hitting Send. My apologies in advance
for the drama this is unfortunately likely to create. I would appreciate
if everyone could pretend they never saw this email, or at least, avoid
starting email threads discussing it. :)
Sorry everyone, and sorry especially to Albert, who definitely does not
deserve for dirty laundry to be aired in public like this. It was my
mistake and I take full responsibility. I'll buy to a beer at the next
Akademy. Or a cake, your choice. :)

Hello CWG,
Albert Astals Cid has been acting rudely in Okular merge requests
recently and insulting the work of longtime contributors who deserve
respect. For example:
- https://invent.kde.org/graphics/okular/-/merge_requests/862
- https://invent.kde.org/graphics/okular/-/merge_requests/869
In the latter one, Albert has succeeded in causing Ingo Klöcker
sufficient stress that he's ceased the work, which disrupts activities
directed and funded by KDE e.V. (Ingo is a paid KDE e.V. contractor who
we are sponsoring to do this).
This kind of behavior is unacceptable and it needs to come to an
end--not just this time, not just now, but going forward. For years
Albert has gotten away with this kind of casual abrasiveness, and it's
not acceptable. We can't let this be a "the situation resolved itself"
kind of thing.
