When I proposed Stéphane Wirtel to open a vote to promote him, I told him that even if the result can be negative, it's ok, he should see the vote as part of a "process" (to become a core dev sometime). Feedbacks will help to identify things that should be enhanced. Well, even if the result is "positive" (>= 2/3 majority), -1 justified votes help for the same reason. Nobody is perfect, there are always things that should be enhanced. There are now multiple -1 votes and none has been justified in public. It remains consistent with what Giampaolo just wrote: not having to justify a vote helps to have a "fair" vote. I'm ok with that. But now, I'm not sure how to use the vote result. I would be interested that the ones who voted -1 would send me their reasons in private (now and after the vote closes), so I can send an *anonymous* feedback to Stéphane. I hope that you will trust me enough to anonymize your feedback ;-) But I'm also fine with "-1 voters" who are not comfortable to share their reason with me. By the way, I'm also surprised to see that on 11 "+1" votes, only 3 added a comment. I'm not sure of the "value" of "+1" without a comment. Does the voter know Stéphane and/or saw his work. How did the voter make their decision? In the past, these comments helped me to vote when I wasn't sure about a candidate. For example, if someone showed a strong support, and I trust the voter, I follow their vote (well, taking a decision is more complex than that in practice, but I hope that you see my point). Sorry, I'm just thinking aloud :-) It's just that I'm confused by the novelty of this vote :-) > On the other hand, I think votes for technical decisions (if any) are > better if kept public, and possibly always accompained by a reason > (otherwise abstention is better). I agree. Victor -- Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. _______________________________________________ python-committers mailing list python-committers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-committers Code of Conduct: https://www.python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
