How was the rule not applied correctly?


Your e-mail to developers@ on 2018-06-14 08:01 PST announced the new rule:

1. As mentioned in r530801, there were multiple timeouts, several of 
which were longer than 3 months:

>  * irc/libircclient: bug#221567 - jlaffaye (maintainer's timeout; 2.5 years)

Also, r528577, r528576, r527627, r507340 had patches for his ports with maintainer timeouts of 2 weeks and longer.


2. This maintainer is also uncontactable:
* the last time he replied to any bugzilla PR was on 2019-07-11 for bug#239130
* the material comment to his commit r528785 went unanswered, and this change has been later reverted by a new maintainer of lang/go.
* my numerous attempts to e-mail him all went unanswered


3. You yourself agreed twice in your personal e-mail messages that this commit has been made according to the rules.

It appears from the above that conditions set in the rules were met and exceeded. All additional facts and your own opinion from your e-mails also point in the direction that this commit was done properly.


Why was it reverted, and why are you now saying that the rule was not applied correctly?


Thanks,
Yuri
