I believe that the issue was that @g.o addresses generally denote a dev, and that giving such addresses to people who are not devs could cause confusion. For example, suppose we have a user who specializes in a particular imap server. If there were an urgent security issue, such a user might get a request to stable the package despite the fact that the person isn't a dev, which wouldn't serve anybody. A simpler method would be to ditch the idea of handing out e-mail addresses to users, no matter how much work they do for us, but that idea wasn't much more popular than any of the others. *Shrug* > I'm very disappointed that the council did not wait on the vote for this > considering the sudden submission of the revision of the GLEP.

It's fairly clear why they did it; they were being nice, because although I always intended the GLEP process to be iterative, with plenty of time for comments, I never put it in writing.. I personally think that it would have been better to hold off until next month, but it was a judgement call, and I don't think it was wholly unreasonable. The Council did go out of their way to emphasize that there should not be a repeat of this event. -g2boojum- --=20 Grant Goodyear=09 Gentoo Developer g2boojum@gentoo.org http://www.gentoo.org/~g2boojum GPG Fingerprint: D706 9802 1663 DEF5 81B0 9573 A6DC 7152 E0F6 5B76 --dZihrQ6eCIduWT38 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDfne9ptxxUuD2W3YRArrHAJ93V5wsPw/yrMJuhiU+v3gfk0dE2ACfd9zm EXK/Y2HN1I7rD3BycM2KQ8w= =oD+a -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --dZihrQ6eCIduWT38-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
