Hi!

[I started a new thread to let the "Banning" thread rest in peace.]

In the past,
people gaining commit access got voting rights. The question
becomes,
if the commit access is revoked, are the voting rights as well?

I'd say those two rights should be officially de-coupled.

I see no reason to make this any more complicated, ie. -1 to that
suggestion. Why should they?

Originally, I was thinking about how we (may) have non-developers with
voting rights. Those wouldn't need commit access and that's how my
brain short-circuited in suggesting to de-couple voting and commit
rights. Of course, those people could still have formally commit access
which they then just not use...

WRT people losing their commit access and how that touches their voting
rights, there could be the argument made that while their code
contributions or the communication of those led to their losing commit
access, their general judgment of questions that are voted on may still
be sound.

Thinking about it some more, I tend to agree though, it's probably a
needless complication for a case that should remain a rare exception.

Regards,
Humdinger
