[Development] Maintainance Tool

[Konrad Rosenbaum]

Hi Tuukka,

I believe an official statement from the Qt Company is in order - right 
now people are forced to find out the hard way whether they are blocked 
and how far the block goes. It is impossible to tell whether it is on 
purpose or not and what the purpose would be.

It does not matter what side people are on, they deserve to know what's 
happening to them.

It's also easier to accept and support this, if we know what "this" is.


Please state very clearly:

Who is being blocked? (Location, commercial customers, open source 
users, developers, ...?)

Why are they blocked and for how long? (We might even agree with your 
reasoning.)

What services are supposed to be blocked and which ones are not supposed 
to be blocked? (Commercial vs. Open Source, Binary vs. Source Downloads, 
Users vs. Contributors, ...)

Where to report bugs in this block? (e.g. is Konstantin really supposed 
to be blocked from contributing?)

And what discussions will be redirected to /dev/null?


Right now we live in a situation that we all had hoped would not occur 
again in Europe. We had hoped that the hard learned lessons of our grand 
parents would prevent this from happening. Let's at least try to be a 
voice of reason in this situation.
