To be clear, i think some common sense should apply - e.g. If someone was fired for trying to put a backdoor in MW they shouldnt automatically get their rights back.
But generally speaking if they were trusted before WMF, I trust they have the maturity after WMF to use their rights appropriately even if they are angry or whatever. If that trust was misguided their rights can easily be removed later (this is +2 not shell we are talking about after all). -- Brian On Wednesday, January 25, 2017, Kevin Smith <[email protected]> wrote: > I support restoring the rights in this case, but I'm not sure it should be > automatic in all cases.
