OK, here's a specific mistake made by a rails committer in handling this issue. drogus closed [this issue](https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/5239 https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/5239) without bothering to tell GitHub about it. This meant that fewer people saw it, and fewer people had a chance to tell GitHub about it. (One even thought of telling them about it, but unfortunately suggested that someone else do it instead of actually doing it.)
I think that perhaps the Rails team should have someone reviewing that issues were properly handled.
- vijaydev 15y agoI would expect the guy who found an issue with GitHub to report it to them. Yes, the rails people could have, should have.. But they explicitly asked "him" to report and there is no word on whether he did it or not.
- benatkin 15y agoYou're stating the obvious. Egor Homakov should have done a lot of things differently. But there is little that can be done about the behavior of bad actors in the rails community. With people on the team, it's different. Practices can be audited, mistakes can be pointed out, and the fine people in the Rails team can respond to criticism and improve their performance.
