Hi,

Reviewing a PR is a technical work, but voting on a disputed PR has a 
political element. So I want to make a political remark concerning most of 
the disputed PRs.

The modularization project (making pip-installation packages that contain 
portions of the sage library) started years ago with a general consensus of 
the sage community. Matthias led the project and did most of hard works. 
Many others did not care much about the project and still do not feel the 
impact except when encountered with the (annoying) "# needs ..." tags.

Matthias is also managing much of the sage build system and the CI (mostly 
testing infrastructure) on github, partly to support the modularization 
project. Many of us would appreciate that.

Certainly Matthias is not an appointed dictator ruling the developers, but 
I think we should at least acknowledge the leading role of him in the area 
of his expertise. On technical discussions on PRs, we should give more 
weight on his opinions from his expertise.

I hope that you decide your vote by weighing the conflicting arguments on 
the issues.

Kwankyu
