Steve, Jonathan, I would encourage you to hold yourselves to higher
standards especially on a public list like debian-newmaint.
Yes, some of us are aware of the history.
But many who will come to read your words will not be.
I would encourage you to write a message more in alignment with Joerg's
message.
Perhaps talking about what from that history specifically is problematic
for you for example.
To those who believe there are circumstances under which Adam should be
able to come back:
Do you think it is necessary for Adam to have this discussion in
public, or do you think it would be sufficient for Adam to get an AM who
is able to evaluate where Adam stands with regard to our community
values and then for DAM to evaluate that conversation?
I hope we choose to give people respect even when we disagree with them,
and to focus on whether they are in alignment with our community
standards rather than judging them as individuals. I particularly hope
community leaders would choose to do that.
I am disappointed because I do not believe we are achieving either the
respect for Adam nor the focus on our community standards I hope for in
this conversation.
I would ask if there are ways we can do what we need to do while being
more respectful and only bringing the things into the public that need
to be in public.
