Relax- nobody is *requiring* anything of anyone. This is about expected and model behavior. For reasons that escape me at this point, Hagar was made a committer on this project, and that comes with certain expectations. Additionally there are expectations on how *anyone* subscribed to this mailing list SHOULD apply community documentation as it pertains to website maintenance. That is of no surprise to anyone either. > suggest that he might need (I quote) "a debilitating illness that prevents > him from acquiring the requisite skills." If he has not the time or the > inclination to extend his role, that is sufficient. It was, at the end of the day, a *challenge* to either accept or pass on. Expect there to be more of them when others approach this mailing list with bug reports about web pages, because we want people to use the tools provided by the org to fix those bugs themselves. Will everyone comply? Of course not. This is just the first example of that- pity it's coming from a committer.
