[$] FESCo provenpackager sanction causes problems

Thu, 19 Dec 2024 15:04:59 +0000

Description:
The Fedora Engineering Steering Council (FESCo) has made a series of
missteps in deciding to revoke a longtime Fedora contributor's provenpackager 
status. FESCo made the decision during a closed session, based on private
complaints. It then publicly announced its decision, including the
contributor's name, while only supplying a vague account of the
contributor's actions. This has left the Fedora community with more
questions than answers, and raised a number of complaints about the
transparency of FESCo's process. In addition, the sequence of events has
sparked discussions about package ownership, as well as when and how it's
appropriate to push changes to packages that a developer doesn't own.
