It seems it's usually Brion who commits stuff here, but it's less formal than with Linux kernel.
So, it is a kind of arbitrary.
And it's Jimbo who owns servers.
What do you mean? I thought Bomis owns the server. Am I right?
Anyway, this was rather uncontroversial change.
I don't remember saying it is controversial. I am sorry for giving wrong impression. I was just wondering about the decision process. I don't mean to object to this change at all. (though I advocate the system should be more democratic)
