Nothing quite shows how deserving one is of filling a responsible role than dragging personal conflicts into the public and - without providing proper context - blaming other people for it.

My congratulations to Hans; as it turns out, he has done the F-Droid project yet another excellent service.

I see this more as whistleblowing on this bypass of their own process and governance. If personal conflict is the reason given for bypassing all procedure, what else can they do than mention it? Doesn't seem like "dragging" it in to me.

Do you have some other insight? tfa seems to paint hans as a passive aggressive dude. in the gitlab issue, another person shows up and gave a similar statement about hans. and in the latest reply by hans, it seems that he takes the L.

Multiple people simultaneously resigned from the community board at the same time, which makes it very clear it's not this 'one person dragging their personal stuff into public'.

Extremely important people, by the way

Hans did not “take the L”. Its pretty obvious he’s trying to push past it ASAP with a vague semi-apology and asking that “bygones be bygones”, without taking any serious time or effort to address the issues and concerns.

From the outside it looks like Hans is not following rules and procedures. This is never good for an active community.

You could have at least seen the joint statement[0] to know that it's not just one person complaining.

"According to Hans, "many people" have expressed "concerns" about me -- though for some reason not during the period expressly meant for people to voice those, apparently only to him in private, mysteriously never mentioned before now, and that cannot be named for some reason."
