This needs to be made publicly visible. I can file a new bug if need be. Otherwise please make this visible. I will be providing this to 3rd parties. Having this restricted will only make things worse for Gentoo. It will seem more like hiding something, restricting free speech, criticism. Thank you! I don't know if the Foundation needs to protect "free speech" on its resources, but I would expect it to enforce any code of conduct very fairly and not use it as a weapon to silence those who are critical of various aspects of the project. This limits the ability for members to provide very important feedback to the Foundation. I should also add that for legal reasons it is probably necessary for the Foundation to oversee ComRel because as it currently stands, ComRel is infringing on the ability of Foundation members to properly participate in Gentoo. User filed restricted bug and then complained that it's restricted. Un-restricting. Removing council@ from CC There is no free speach on privately run lists. removing from cc instead of closing Although in the Gentoo Community Relations team opinion this is a Gentoo Council issue as the Code of Conduct was approved and any changes need approval by the Council, we're closing this bug as they've decided this isn't a council issue[1]. In any case, it is the opinion of the Gentoo Community Relations team, that free speech doesn't apply to Gentoo's mailing lists.
