I'm not sure that's entirely correct. I seem to remember at least one
devrel dev stating that when it comes to devs who violate technical
policies (not using repoman, repeatedly breaking sections of the tree,
etcetera) that enforcement should be left up to the appropriate
managers, not devrel. The argument was that devrel devs are often not
experts in the technical aspects, so it's hard for them to adjudicate
effectively.
Of course, I could be entirely mistaken, but I know that I'm not the
only person who has this impression.
