00:29 <gmaxwell> pinheadmz: I think the project made an error in continually giving short bans to outright abusive parties. People who are unable or unwilling to conduct themselves professionally should be just banned. Not banned for 24 hours. Not banned from a single issue. But banned until conditions change (like they send a message saying "uh sorry, was having a bad day, I won't do that again") and

00:29 <gmaxwell> potentially forever. Among the many negative properties of failing to do that is that repeat abusers show up to throw mud and then the lower threshold for them makes the removal look out of place to people without the context. It also ferments ongoing hostility because being a jerk in the project becomes part of someone's identity, rather than something they forget about and move past. It

00:29 <gmaxwell> also fails to establish clear boundaries-- that the repository isn't a public forum for the airing of underinformed grievances.

00:30 <gmaxwell> There needs to be one or two places that exist exclusively for people who like the project and its contributors, want it to be successful, and want to help drive that success. Most of the entire internet is open for people who disagree, don't like the project, or otherwise want to fling mud.

00:33 <gmaxwell> It would also, as another matter, be really nice if the project weren't on github and it were possible to require a login to read PRs or even have new PRs be visible only to project members until they're triaged, so that people can't create intentionally provocative PRs and then foam up the public before any project regular has woken up.

01:03 <gmaxwell> vasild: There is nothing incompatible with private issue trackers in open source, they were more or less ubiqutious prior to github. As were projects where you submit proposed changes by emailing a maintainer.

01:04 <gmaxwell> vasild: Open source software is software where everyone has the freedom to modify and distribute their own versions, it doesn't say anything about how it gets made. And sure, being very inclusive helps include more people in the process and can get better results. But that's not a question of open source ethos, just a question of efficiency and it may not always apply.
