The goal initially was to highlight that "The Apache Way" speaks highly of the positive sides of meritocracy, but ignores any possible 'misuse' of the system. I think it is important for the ASF to remain long-term viable, possibly reaching 10'000 committers not so far in the future, that there is a reasonable guideline of what constitutes "abuse", "misconduct" and "matter of demotions". Tolerance is relative, and the more people you bring together, the greater the risk that conflicts will occur and these types of resolutions will be called upon. Now, since I aired this on community@, I am getting the feeling that this is a touchy subject and should not be discussed in open. That worries me more. What is there to hide? Why can't I ask for a clarification for everyone in the community at large to see? Being 'kicked out' of your own work is a big thing that I think most active committers would like to know more about. No?
