I think it's misleading to claim that this came about due to "infighting". It came about due to https://www.debian.org/vote/2021/vote_002 https://www.debian.or

I think it's misleading to claim that this came about due to "infighting".
It came about due to https://www.debian.org/vote/2021/vote_002 https://www.debian.org/vote/2021/vote_002 leading to DDs fearing being individually targeted due to how they did or did not vote. On technical matters, I support the idea that voters' reputations be affected by their voting record. On matters like this vote (please read it!), not so much. Maybe it's OK for the voting record to be public, but any individual harassment that might follow would be out of order and is a good reason to make such votes private.

This is but 1 example; but this alone literally is called infighting. Your example proves me right. Let's not forget how debian also went after Linus. How they have gone after how many other developers? >On matters like this vote (please read it!), not so much.

Oh I understand all too well what's going on.
- rlpb 5y agoI'm not sure that the threats of harassment actually came from Debian. Remember: Debian does (nearly) everything in public. People participating on the mailing lists aren't necessarily members of the Debian project.
