You are not at cause.
Charles is not a policy editor and has no right to commit the GIT repository.
Since the day he resigned as a policy editor, instead of adopting a low
profile, he has interfered with the job of the remaining policy editors by
trying to set the agenda. For some reason his commit rights were not revoked
when he resigned and he is now abusing the priviledge.
The GIT repository is only a tool for the policy editors. Due to the
decentralized nature of GIT, anybody can clone it anyway and send a pull request.
Pushing to it directly is uselessly interfering with the policy editors job.
Charles needs to let the policy editors do their work at their own pace and with
serenity.
Charles seems to have decided that the menu policy discussion should take
precedence over over issues (multiarch, systemd, etc.) that are much more
important.
