DevRel resolution

Issue:

Samuli is refusing to follow the changed rules for the nature of
ChangeLog files set by the Gentoo Council.

Background:

According to GLEP 39 the Gentoo Council is the highest technical
decision making body in the project. When there is no consensus
it's the job of the Gentoo to make a decision on a matter. As
part of the QA project Samuli is also expected to enforce said
policies.

Actions:

Developer Relations expects all developers to follow the rules of
the project. Developer Relations considers the suspension enacted
by the QA lead an adequate disciplinary action so no further
action is required. It is expected that after restoration of your
access you will follow the rules for the usage of ChangeLog files
or Developer Relations has to consider further action. If you
don't like using echangelog we suggest you look at getting a
technical solution implemented that frees developers from having
to run echangelog or try to submit an improved wording for the
Council to consider. Your commit access will be restored after
promising to follow the policy in the future.
