This is a point that deserves more consideration. One of the top
reasons (as witnessed in forum discussions) many people are not
getting more involved and volunteering to become developers is the
level of in-fighting and the ineffective way that bullies and other
poisonous people are being dealt with. Does Gentoo really prefer to
keep more sensitive people out instead of effectively getting rid of
repeat offenders?
Think about it. What kind of people would you rather have in Gentoo?
Cheers,
