Yesterday, I've removed a broken dev-python/numpy version. To my surprise, it's back today with: commit b46800f73684afae78f43bcaa07e2d143f22aa70 Author: Sven Wegener <swegener@gentoo.org> AuthorDate: 2024-11-01 07:26:32 +0100 Commit: Sven Wegener <swegener@gentoo.org> CommitDate: 2024-11-01 07:30:20 +0100 Revert "dev-python/numpy: Remove old" This reverts commit fdedfb19e12c8bade5daee6bf4c4ac94d79eb122. 2.1.1 was the highest stable version on amd64. Signed-off-by: Sven Wegener <swegener@gentoo.org> To the best of my knowledge, there was no effort to communicate with me or the Python team — just random revert with no effort to determine why the version was removed, or even inform us about the plan.
I guess this won't be the first case of swegener touching high profile packages without communicating to maintainers. At the very least: 9ff9f8199ccf app-shells/bash: do not update internal window title of screen and tmux Other examples of changes made to packages with other maintainers (dunno if communicated or not): ed160bae5504 dev-libs/libserialport: add 0.1.2 414a882f2947 sci-geosciences/osm2pgsql: add 2.0.0 470570c15a2d net-fs/samba: optimize python modules a294ac7a6ae9 sci-libs/libsigrok: re-add ruby support 8f5bc68ec8a4 dev-util/intel_clc: switch from --buildtype to -Dbuildtype
@Sven this is your final warning that you cannot touch packages (even more so important ones like numpy) without communicating with the maintainers (python here). Since you do not seem to acknowledge the existence of this bug, I will request suspension of your commit access until you acknowledge this bug and promise not to touch other project's critical packages without communication. @Infra Please suspend swegener's commit access until aforementioned issue has been acknowledged.

Sorry if I stepped on anyone's toes. To me Gentoo always had an open policy about this. I joined in base-system, was QA lead and from time to time I fall back into old interests and caring about other topics in general. I'll pay more attention and refrain from touching other packages from now on.
