He is a remarkable contributor to the project--of that I have no doubt. > Reading his email reply makes me believe he wants to continue to > contribute as core developer. And here, I believe, is the source of the confusion: "core developer" isn't a specific role in OpenStack projects. We have all sorts of contributions including not only software development but also documentation, translation, infrastructure management, quality assurance, et cetera, et cetera... _and_ code review. > Therefore, I would like to take an opportunity to appeal to the > core team to consider granting him his wish - i.e. vote -1 on his > removal. The proposal was to remove him from the list of Neutron core *reviewers* (the people tasked with wading through the endless volumes of code contributed by developers day after day). This says nothing of his remarkable ongoing contributions to the project, except merely that he hasn't had a lot of time to review other people's code contributions for a while now. It's not a stigma, it's simply a reflection of which kinds of contributions he focuses on making. -- Jeremy Stanley _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
