When I have to decide whether a maintainer is doing an adequate job or needs to be replaced, I pay attention to whatever relevant information I get. However, to give users "a say" in the decision seems improper, so I don't do that. - Incrementally produce a GNU-Git, which is maintained by GNU Could you explain what you are proposing? A fork of Git? A replacement for Git? As of now I don't know of a reason to do either of those things. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
