It is relevant to me.
Spending more time explaining things to people than the time gained on
their possible action is not OK.
This is an adults association. If people are not able to deal like
adults of their personnal issues, so be it, there is no SH.

Well, first, you can. And then, it would be just stupid and childish.

Did you try to get admin access?
People get admin and moderation access on the wiki, on the forum and on
the trac because they actually do things there. The best guy on the
forum is not even a developer, and yet, he puts all of us to shame in
the way he answers.
People get admin access to the machines because they need it, like today
when ILEoo got access to jones.
People get admin access on the git because they helped managing it. How
many times did we had to split a repository of git and asked on IRC?
People get access to the mailing lists because they offered to help for
the moderation.

Getting admin access to anything is not a right, or a privilege: it is a
logical consequence of their actions.

I do. The non-profit does a lot and you cannot attack its actions without
me answering and defending our actions.

Lurkers do not count.
