> Ah yes, [...] some nothing burger about Metux pushing code that could break things. Not could break, did break. Multiple times. When a contributor repeatedly submits broken and untested PRs, the correct solution isn't to let him keep trying as often as he wants.

idk man, it seems like a bunch of glass houses. In context if you read what I said I didn't imply Metux was the best out there; I was highlighting how absolutely terrible Wayland is and how I will take anything at this point.

  You can do that without misrepresenting the issues that got him banned. This happens almost every time there's a discussion on Xorg-related stuff, and I'm tired of seeing the maintainers getting slandered over and over. So, here are a few direct links to the comments/issues/MRs (in chronological order), some very minor stuff, some bigger. I also didn't cherrypick examples where the maintainers acted perfectly, but IMO metux is far more difficult as you can see. Note I didn't search very long, so keep looking if you want to see more before you're sure: - Small procedural issues: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests/1294#note_2287835 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests... - metux being difficult regarding work with nvidia: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/commit/095e8ee8713f7bd5dea995bc3830c2c0952cd508#note_2312870 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/commit/095e8ee... - metux causes regression & it stays unaddressed for weeks, even though he was pushing on other branches: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests/1574#note_2490273 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests... - metux is marking threads as resolved when comments are unaddressed: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests/1696#note_2798511 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests... - metux causing unnecessary API breakage in commits marked trivial: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/work_items/1760#note_2607022 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/work_items/176... - metux isn't properly testing his PRs: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/work_items/1797#note_2800273 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/work_items/179... - metux breaking downstream again: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests/2007#note_2928165 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests... None of these are terrible on their own, but IMO taken together I can't fault the maintainers at all.
