Heh, quite. I didn't claim to have logic on my side, I was just highlighting
what our byelaws currently say.
I said it was picky, but if we're happy for Devs to sponsor TU-ship, then we
should just change the rules. I didn't want to create a big discussion out of
this (unless of course people do disagree with devs being sponsors), so if
there aren't any reasons contra, I'll put in a proposal to amend the byelaws.
I guess this came from an original idea that the group of TUs are self-
governing, independently of the developers.
I always highlight that the Arch core developers usually don't interfere
with the affairs of the TU group. In that sense, the bylaws make sense
by saying you need to TU to sponsor him. However, the important part
(voting) is done by TUs only. Personally, I always considered the
"sponsor" requirement an unnecessary formality anyway.
I thought about it andI have nointention to participate to the vote as I
do not want to interfere with the required quorum. I am only sponsoring
here and the final choice will be made by TUs only.
