I think some people are blowing things out of proportion here. Times have
been more chaotic in the distant past than what we have going on now at
least in my 10 years with gentoo, but i gather that things are getting a
little heated here.

Maybe its time to expand dev-rel's authority, such as applying some basic
rules to all the devs.  Not saying people are doing these things but rules
like no cursing in official communiqué, no personal attacks, promises to
obey the decisions of the dev-rel arbitration. And perhaps give dev-rel
some ability to punnish the devs, suspending their privlidges or whatnot
for breaking the simple rules.

Mostly there shouldnt be this endless bickering.  If two maintainers cant
agree instead of an endless fight, they should just acknowledge that things
have reached an impass go to dev-rel and let them decide what is to happen,
maybe let them appeal to the lead of dev-rel and after that send an
official appeal to the council. But there is really no need for this
endless arguing about such small things.
