[opensuse-project] Stop the overstepping maintainers issue now
I find it outrageous that the top-level maintainers of the build.opensuse.org project "games" have the audacity to remove maintainers from packages. It is the second time this has happened. And it is getting evermore unscrupulous. Concerning /games/grabpng, r5 | jengelh | 2016-06-30 19:33:43 CET | 643e6e9a47e99e0c1745b29da380db27 | unknown was placed. Minutes later, a competing SR was force-pushed by r6 | DarkSS | 2016-06-30 19:34:12 CET | d150387bd8be724af181ecd059c3246a | unknown | rq405768 The timely proximity makes this veer into a "oh well, happens" domain. BUT, OBS should have shown a merge conflict to start with, which would make this would instance 1 of overstepping. The SR was just an hour old, so here is also instance 2, aka. the year-long problem with trigger-happy prj-level maintainers. Using copypac to just get back r5, access rights get rescinded minutes later on the grounds of vandalism. Not only was this supposed vandalism not reverted, it indeed got submitted as-is by DarkSS to Factory and showing up in my review list, so this can only mean someone is pulling a really bad prank. As mail trickles in later, two OBS comments get delivered for asking for a specific procedure and a announcement of rights removal due to not heeding the procedure. In other words, DarkSS is also expecting people to read - and receive - mail in short intervals, ignoring the fact that interwebs do not always work that way. In all, this is unacceptable. The openSUSE Project is being asked to restore rights and take appropriate measures to turn off such behavior, because it is adversely affecting the project atmosphere. If your maintainer rights get revoked at any point in time for *acting* like a maintainer, who would want to stay with the openSUSE Distribution project? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
