Frankly, I would recommend holding off on giving tribunal developer access until he learns how to deal with other people in a mature and civilized fashion. Messaging me with a lot of angry comments because I removed his voice after he made a lot of people in #-dev angry with arrogant, elitist comments and various irrational actions on multiple occassions doesn't indicate the kind of behavior I think we should be able to expect from developers. It's especially disheartening that he justified it by implying that because he did a bunch of kernel work he's entitled to be a jerk.
the boy's talented, there's no doubt, but he also seems to lack the skills required in interacting with gentoo developers. This is, to me as well, a cause of some serious concern.
I strongly agree with both of you, iggy and I discussed this shortly after the problems on #-dev and have already come to the agreement to delay developer status depending on how he interacts with other developers in the future. I am told he was very stressed at the time, but neither this or his kernel work justify the repeated outbursts. I nominated him purely on his technical abilities in the specific Gentoo pressure point of x86-kernel, but I admittedly did not expect such immature behavior. Let's see what happens from here...
Due to his proven inability to work with other developers in a productive manner on several ocassions, I have decided that tribunal does not exemplify the attitude and character of a Gentoo Linux developer. I am closing this bug and ending his mentorship.
