Which is very problematic. a) In append only logs like git we can not edit history. Making it a mainters responsibility to edit the history, to do the impossible is a problem. b) There are no responsibilities of for people who are not Maintainers. That is another problem. c) The entire tone of the reponsibilities section is out of line with a community where there are no enforcement powers only the power to accept or not accept a patch. Only the power to persuade not to enforce. Overall in the discussions I have heard people talking about persuading, educating, and not feeding trolls. Nowhere have I heard people talking about policing the community which I understand that responsiblity section to be talking about. Increasingly I am getting the feeling that this document does not the linux development community. Perhaps a revert and trying to come up with better language from scratch would be better. I don't know how to rephrase that reponsibility section but if we don't go with the revert something looks like it need sot be done there. Eric
