Fedora Council overturns FESCo provenpackager decision

The Fedora Council has ruled on the Fedora Engineering SteeringCouncil's (FESCo) decision last year to revoke Peter Robinson'sprovenpackager status. In a statementpublished to the fedora-devel-announce mailing list, the council hasannounced that it has overturned FESCo's decision:

FESCo didn't have a specific policy for dealing with a request to removeProven Packager rights. In addition, the FESCo process was handled entirelyin private. The contributor didn't receive a formal notification or warningfrom FESCo, and felt blindsided by the official decision when and how it wasannounced. The Fedora Council would like to extend our sincerest apology onbehalf of the Fedora Project to them.
