[13:52:12] <sigmavirus24> jaraco: I can't because I have to audit everything a non-maintainer has merged to the repository
[13:52:16] <sigmavirus24> And I don't have time for that
[13:56:29] <jaraco> Well shoot. I really thought I was being helpful by stepping in to help on very minor and uncontroversial changes.
[13:58:27] <jaraco> I’m so sad to have spoiled the project.
[13:59:31] <jaraco> How can we fix this? Obviously I’ll leave the project alone. Is there someone else who can help?
[14:03:46] <sigmavirus24> There are other maintainers, I just wish you had asked ahead of time. I generally trust you, but I had requested elsehwere that you not push changes and it didn't seem to get through
[14:04:32] <sigmavirus24> I don't want there to be a precedent in any organization that someone with owner-ish permissions just merge PRs all over the place or push directly. And the latter can be fixed by setting up branch protections, sure, but that shouldn't be required
[14:05:06] <sigmavirus24> I sincerely appreciate the intention
[14:05:17] <sigmavirus24> Communicating about it in advance would have been significantly better
[14:12:46] <jaraco> I agree. I assumed to much. I was thinking of myself as a backup maintainer and shouldn’t have. At one point I explicitly said I would use my privilege as a PyPA maintainer with respect and consideration and I overstepped.
[14:15:41] <jaraco> Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help. If it would help to force push to master the last release and the recreate/reopen the PRs, I’m comfortable doing that. I won’t do anything more without your direction.
[14:31:02] <sigmavirus24> I appreciate that. I'm just going to re-review those PRs and try to put together release notes
[14:31:19] <sigmavirus24> I'm going to add you to the committers as an explicit acknowledgement that you can merge things.
[15:13:01] <jaraco> I’m humbled. Thank you @sigmanvirus24.
