You're mixing up everything:
- I didn't saw the "do not commit" instruction. As a previous contributor
I didn't re-read the README-contrib as I was used to work directly in
the VCS when Adam Di Carlo was still the official maintainer.
- When I committed my changes, you didn't point me to that file and you
didn't explain me why you didn't want me to commit. Thus I didn't accept
your arbitrary rule (in particular when my involvement in
developers-reference predates yours).
- In the above compromise, I accept the rule if its purpose is to have
review of the patches before they are committed.
- That said lack of review is not good but outdated information in the
developers-reference is far worse. Thus I suggested that we have a 15
days period where editors can comment and explicitely accept/block a
patch (of course a justification needs to be given too). After that any
editor can integrate the change by himself it he thinks it's ok.
- I also requested to be added back in my editor status as you removed me
without my permission. While I had not contributed for a long time, I
was still subscribed to the PTS and I was reachable by e-mail.
There's nothing else Andreas. Please forgive me if I hurt you while doing
this but you have not been very cooperative either.
Cheers,
