Doesn't
this seem to ignore people like me, non-developers, that are
interested in ReactOS?
If the issue is not too technical, such as the language debate,
everyone should be allowed to vote. If only the developers are
listened to, does that seem too Microsoft-ish to you (ignoring the
users)?
This debate is about a detail of how we manage the code repository.
It's apprpriate that only those who commit can vote, if such a vote
is needed.
I think Mr. Swanson was commenting about the proposed rules for voting.
Not all votes will affect only us developers, and issues that will
affect users should allow their votes.
