</div>If there has been a recent discussion amongst the admins as to when it is appropriate to remove maintainers, I was left out of it. The only official policy I know of is tied to the failure to process test reports within a week, and the automatic mechanism for doing that isn't even working at the moment.<br>
<br>
If maintainers are to be removed for other reasons, I think the admins need to come to a consensus about when, why, and how this should be done.<br>

</font></blockquote><div><br>�</div><div>there has not been any discusson on that.<br>my view on removing maintainers is that it should be done only when the maintainer is verified unresponsive and does not catter for his activities, for example when we see test results pending for more than 1/2 weeks it's a good reason to see if the maintainer is active.<br>
<br>on this particular case i feel ken and vitaly should have communicated more to understand each others points of view and reach a consensus. although i can totally see why ken decided to remove him from maintainer this should not be done lightly.<br>
