When a so-called "audit" problem happened, it was almost the same (personal problems between developers, namely Hartmut Birr, Ge van Geldorp, Casper Hornstrup and Alex Ionescu, which resulted in mutual charges of various bad and made up things, and gladly picked up by some people related to Wine team to suppress ReactOS project development).
And yes, James, there was a democracy back then, and all decisions were made according to the consensus of Project Members. But do you remember what this led to? And where would it go if Mr. Geldorp would not help (even though he wasn't "at my side"!) and Mr. Bragin would not back up the repository and open it up for further development?
As for Repository Coordinator, why made up positions where there is no need? Coordinate what? And yes, I not only assumed, but took full control, in order to prevent situations like "audit fiasco" in future.
If you see how much outburst and disclosing private information (vulnerable to at least one person!) Magnus Olsen did, it, unfortunately!, proofs he's mentally unstable, and can not take part in this project. He's welcome to send in patches though, I won't mind reviewing them, since legally his work could go into ReactOS repository.
If there are further questions, don't hesitate to continue discussion. I want to clear this up once and for good. One thing which I ensure you, there will be no committers who work against the project and open source.
With the best regards, Aleksey Bragin.
