If insufficient information is provided people (have to) downvote the application and reject it. Apparently though after an application is denied (with a reason that the information was insufficient) and the information is updated it is sorted into the system with the old votes and comments.
So due to that it's quite hard for the membership team to find that there is a change at all. Your application is shown (with the downvotes) and in case a team member declined he actively would need to recognize the update, and at least remove his old vote.
So looking at your application there are still two downvotes from the time where the information was not given. So the process does not allow to accept your application. Still when looking deeper into it those downvotes should have been reset but this is not technically the case. Also only team members can remove their downvote actively.
So the main issue is that the tooling does not really allow to recognize this situation directly but only with all the context around it.
Since we were hoping we would have had the openSUSE Accounts implemented by this point, alongside the Matrix server launch, the Mailman 3 migration and Connect decommission, but none of this happened due to SUSE Community accounts, I'm afraid we might be stuck with Connect method for a while longer. The accounts system was supposed to be used as a way to add and store membership info, which would have allowed us to use it in other applications via existing integrations.
So is someone going to step up and make a proper review and issue a new status to Mr. Jochen Breuer's request as that has not been indicated. He seems to be interested in this rather than the underlying reasons. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
