• Fedora Council overturns FESCo provenpackager decision

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Friday, May 23, 2025 06:40:07

    The Fedora Council has ruled on the Fedora Engineering Steering
    Council's (FESCo) decision last year to revoke Peter Robinson's
    provenpackager status. In a statement
    published to the fedora-devel-announce mailing list, the council has
    announced that it has overturned FESCo's decision:

    FESCo didn't have a specific policy for dealing with a request to remove
    Proven Packager rights. In addition, the FESCo process was handled entirely
    in private. The contributor didn't receive a formal notification or warning from FESCo, and felt blindsided by the official decision when and how it was announced. The Fedora Council would like to extend our sincerest apology on behalf of the Fedora Project to them.

    LWN covered the
    story in December 2024.
