Simply, situations like the above (Mark closing a bug just because nobody would answer his message on a short delay) have happened multiple times - despite people opposing, obviously -, and we decided that it was better to remove his tracker privileges since his contribution has not really been productive for us. There was a whole python-dev thread some time (weeks? months?) ago where several of us already tried to suggest more fruitful ways of contributing, suggestions which weren't received very welcomingly AFAIR. Now I understand that opinions over this may vary and involve multiple factors, but I would suggest that at least a bit of mentoring is needed if we want to give privileges early on. (and the amount of mentoring needed can vary wildly from one person to another) Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
