That already happened a month ago and generated lots of discussion on
this list: 22% of this list's traffic ever is about that! And just for
fun with stats: 21% of the traffic was about banning
fedora-usermgr. It is really beaten to death and beyond.

Please check the archives if you weren't subscribed back then.

If I were really a proxy introducing a 3rd party's vote proposal that
the 3rd party couldn't/wouldn't represent itself I would agree, but
the situation is that there *was* already a loadful of discussion
initiated by that person and discussed with that person, only that we
didn't have someone to do the actual decision. Now that we finally
have a decisive EPEL it needs to finish the open issues, not rehash
them for the umpteenth time.
