I think Gerrit admin permissions were abused to remove the review

Also, its strange that someone can just remove someone else's code review
just like that on gerrit, add their own review and merge a patch.

But what I find very objecting is the way the two developers have
communicated on the gerrit thread. Both Antoine and Chad (both senior
devs
> that we used to look up to) behaved in a rather dictatorish manner
which
is
not even seen around profit making companies.
Neither cared to explain
and
discuss on the issue, while Yaron was trying his
best to.
Hello,
I disagree with the dictatorship manner, or I would just have force
merged my own patch. I was more waiting for feedback from the repository
owner and engage in a conversation.
I don't have an opinion about the CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md beside that it has
been added on all mediawiki repositories hosted on Gerrit and that it
became the de factor standard on GitHub. I just happened to notice the
file was missing and for sack of consistency proposed a change to
restore it.
About my comment on Gerrit:
| Well then can we just archive this repository please?
I was reacting to Yaron comment about development happening somewhere
else:
| @Ladsgroup - not all of the development of this
software is done on
gerrit.wikimedia.org (actually, very little of it is).
With the hasty conclusion on my side that: if the development is not on
Gerrit and Yaron doesn't want the COC.md file, he should be free to move
to a different hosting place.
In restrospective, I got how that could sound as a threat to arbitrarily
delete the repository. *Yaron I apologize*, that never has been my
intent.
One sure thing, I am quite happy the topic get raised to wikitech-l
which has a much larger audience than a single Gerrit change. We will
see what the outcome happens to be.
cheers,
