The Fedora Engineering Steering Council (FESCo) has made a series ofmissteps in deciding to revoke a longtime Fedora contributor's provenpackagerstatus. FESCo made the decision during a closed session, based on privatecomplaints. It then publicly announced its decision, including thecontributor's name, while only supplying a vague account of thecontributor's actions. This has left the Fedora community with morequestions than answers, and raised a number of complaints about thetransparency of FESCo's process. In addition, the sequence of events hassparked discussions about package ownership, as well as when and how it'sappropriate to push changes to packages that a developer doesn't own.
