Given the fact that we explicitely wanted to avoid @openwrt.org mails
and that this was one of the discussion points leading to the split I
find it delicate to seal the merging commit with exactly such a S-o-b.
Combined with ...
$ git log --author "Imre Kaloz <ka...@openwrt.org>" --format=%cD -1

... this looks to me like nothing was learned from past experiences and
that all that matters here is having the own name attached to the work
being done.
LEDE does have patches in the tree s-o-b-ed and accepted like this dated
January '17. (f24ffb901e0408917748773b883841eca52eea05)
"*) email accounts
- currently there are around ~20 active openwrt.org mail accounts (the 3
owrt devs would like to keep theirs active)
- turn all the webmaster@, hostmaster@, ... accounts into aliases that
anyone with voting rights can be subscribed to
- ask those people that are no longer active to voluntarily give up their
accounts
- mail addresses may under no conditions be used for any personal business,
consultancy, applying for jobs, ... purposes
- any mail sent from an openwrt.org account needs to adhere the trademark
policy and should only be used for FOSS purposes"
In my view, this is FOSS purpose rather than anything else.
Can't we just find some kind of gentleman/ladies agreement to not use
the mail addresses in public? I mean, I never got why these three
people insists on using their mail addresses for anything other than
receiving mail/as a forwarder.
As soon as someone starts to use a @openwrt.org mail address,
basically all other are forced to do so as well. Otherwise the way it
comes across is N @openwrt.org core devs + X people committing as
well. Which I'm quite sure is what nobody wants to see.
my two cents
Mathias
I agree with Mathias can't we find a better consensus on the usage of
the openwrt mail address ?
Now it looks like 3 people officially represent the project next to
the other developers; this will only cause friction in the future.
Hans
I agree with Mathias and Hans, I also do not like this and this looks
like some are more equal than others to outsiders.
I have no problem when the mails are getting forward to the old user of
the address, so that people who send a mail to some @openwrt.org address
still reach the correct person, this can also stay activate forever when
someone wants to maintain the service. The @openwrt.org addresses should
not be used in communication, especially when it is related to OpenWrt,
this includes S-o-b lines, copyright lines and outgoing communication.
Getting a consensus is one thing, arguing against what was voted on is
another. I don't think that anyone wants to misrepresent the project or
cause friction of any kind - such behaviour would be beyond
professionalism, and these things were discussed in detail in the remerge
proposals -, especially when the Reboot has achieved a lot of things, and
we should look into the future.
Having said all that, currently I can only create a v2 of this patch with
the fixes asked/proposed.
Regards,
