I don't know what gave you the idea that the list of the Developer Relations project members is private. You can check the alias members directly by running "grep devrel /var/mail/master.aliases" on woodpecker and you can check the project members at http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/ > 2) Clearly split DevRel into groups for recruiting and conflict > resolution with distinct aliases. There are subgroups in the DevRel team, including recruiters and undertakers, and there are specific aliases for those - recruiters and retirement. The conflict resolution is handled through the devrel alias as the Ombudsman project was dissolved 1 or 2 years ago. You can check the membership to the subgroups in the DevRel page. > 3) Let Gentoo developers vote on who's in the conflict resolution > team just like we do with the council. AFAIK this never happened before and in my opinion choosing conflict resolution members by "popularity" is a very bad idea. > 4) Disallow membership with both the conflict resolution group > and the council at the same time (as the council is where issues > with devrel are taken to). The reason the elections page clearly identifies members of devrel is to alert developers to possible conflicts. To clarify your above statement, I read it as being about the fact that disciplinary actions of DevRel can be appealed to the Council. If it were meant globally, I'd have to note that whenever you cannot reach an agreement with any project or their lead, you'll have to "appeal" to the council. > Idea: From insight on cases of DevRel versus members of RevRel > I can tell this dossn't work well.

My response to your email has nothing to do with the above and to make it crystal clear, this is my personal opinion and doesn't represent the global view of the DevRel team or any other team I am a member of. > DevRel is one of the most important things in Gentoo - we dependend on > that working well.
