I might be missing something here, but I don't think that someone being racist grants you the right to oust them. They don't owe you their time to review your work and at the same time you don't have to contribute to a project that you think is racist or any other reason.
What do you think gives you the right to demand inclusion?
- geofft 8y agoUnless I am in a position of power over the project (founder, corporate sponsor, etc.), it doesn't give me the right to oust them, you're right. But that's not what I'm claiming. It gives me the right to say they're not pursuing merit.
- asqueella 8y agoI wonder if you know of situations in which a project maintainer would not review/accept a patch because of the background of the patch author. It would require them to specifically search for information about the author, which I can’t imagine anyone doing. That, unlike posting something on twitter, would indeed be indecent. I’ve seen many instances of project contributors being flamed because of their “bad” behavior on twitter or elsewhere, but have not seen anyone accused not judging a specific contribution based on its merit.
