3 Aptitude Project Maintainer
7 The technical committee encorages Christian Perrier to implement his
8 proposal for maintenance of the Aptitude project.
12 The technical committee was asked in #750135 to address who would
13 maintain the Aptitude project.
21 1. In #750135, the Technical Committee was asked by Manuel Fernandez
22 Montecelo who should be the maintainer of the Aptitude project.
24 Manuel Fernandez Montecelo had been actively committing until his
25 commit access was removed by Daniel Hartwig.
27 Manuel Fernandez Montecelo and Daniel Hartwig took over development
28 of Aptitude in 2011 with the support of Christian Perrier, an admin
29 for the Aptitude alioth project.
31 There was friction between Manuel Fernandez Montecelo and Daniel
32 Hartwig, which eventually resulted in Manuel Fernandez Montecelo's
33 commit access being revoked by Daniel Hartwig.
35 Since then, Daniel Hartwig has become inactive, and did not comment
36 on the issue when requested by the Technical Committee.
38 2. During the discussion of this issue, Christian Perrier proposed
39 that he and Axel Beckert could watch the social aspects of Aptitude
40 development and restore Manuel Fernandez Montecelo's commit access.
42 Christian still has administrative rights and believes he has the
43 technical power to implement his proposal, but requested the advice
44 of the technical committee before doing so.
46 Using the power of the technical committee to provide advice (ยง6.1.5):
48 1. The Technical Committee agrees that Christian has the power to
49 implement his proposal and encourages him to do so.
51 2. We hope that Christian and Axel will work to manage the social
52 aspects of the Aptitude project, working to recruit new developers,
53 building a stronger Aptitude development community, and
54 establishing policies and procedures that promote a collaborative
57 3. We thank Manuel Fernandez Montecelo for bringing this matter to our
58 attention and apologize for our delay in resolving this matter.
