What is weird about this situation is I can't find any public information about Hans holding any special powers in the project. He's neither the original creator nor an officially appointed BDFL. Maybe he just happens to hold important access rights in the system that let him block people? Or is more assertive than others? Hard to tell

- lucideer 3y agoOne of the issues raised is that the Council approved maintainership privileges for one individual & Hans refused to grant them - this gives me the impression that 1 single individual has exclusive access to grant such privileges (typically "Owner" role): it seems pretty unusual for a community project to have a single Owner role. Even just for efficiency & them being a bottleneck / bus-factor.
