Re: [webkit-dev] Reviewer Nomination: Peter Kasting
I have difficulty seeing peter as a reviewer he has historically demonstrated a bad attitude wrt other ports, is reticent about fixing regressions in other ports. I also think expert on how image decoders work is overrated as he is the only person who has done any work on them, and has repeatedly broken them on platforms he isn't directly involved in. Given my recollection of working with him i don't yet believe he has reached the point where he should reasonably be considered for a reviewer. --Oliver On Jul 2, 2009, at 1:10 AM, Eric Seidel wrote: I would like to nominate Peter Kasting as a WebKit reviewer.
