I would prefer the official policy pages to be updated to have a clear 
statement on this, so this problem can be solved in perpetuity.

I have read all of the above, and none of these rise to official statements of 
policy that clearly accord with your view. I'm not ignoring anything, surely 
you can at least agree that official statements on this are unclear?

The PMC has acted in good faith in this matter, and has followed the official 
policy documents as it interprets them. How else is the PMC meant to discern 
ASF policy? I am happy to accept there has been a failure to communicate the 
intended policy, but asking the PMC to bear a significant cost correcting 
actions taken in good faith on reasonable readings of the policy documents 
would not in my opinion be reasonable.
