Actually not always true. We had a bad svn upload to -proposed that got a fairly stunning number of dupes. A lot of people run with it on not understanding. Although harshly worded, I don't think it was an attack. I think it's a serious question that ought to be answered by someone who's put themselves forward as technically versed and mature enough to be setting policy for MOTU. > Please let's try to avoid that kind of behaviour, there are smarter ways > to deal with problems in Ubuntu. What do you suggest? Once someone is a MOTU (or elected to MOTU Council) there isn't AFAIK any process to deal with removal. Personally, I was stunned by the discovery that any MOTU would upload something to proposed that not only had they not tested, they didn't even know HOW to test. I've done good work with geser in the past, but this case just doesn't strike me as being an example of good judgement at work. I think, particularly as we have no voice in who gets nominated, that us regular MOTUs should be able to closely question the people that the CC/TB have decided are to be the masters of the masters so to speak. This is a one time decision and it needs to be right. Personally, I'm more worried about getting the best MOTU council possible to make good decisions for our future than I am about a few ruffled feathers along the way.
