Perhaps. I've tried to go by the plain readings of position statements and I could have made a mistake?
you are now
suggesting that repository owners do not in fact get to decide what goes in their repository and what does not, as if this has been the case all along.
Yes I'm definitely explicitly saying that. Same applies to pages on Wikipedia: you don't get to own them and veto others' clarifications. And sometimes an admit makes an edit stick that you don't like.
It is incredibly ironic how against the spirit of the CoC this all is.
Can you clarify?

Recent threads have demonstrated there seems to be some disconnect about what is expected about maintainership and ownership of repositories.
This has spilled over into talk about the code of conduct, IMHO specifically because some people are trying to avoid being bound by it or protesting its existence by looking for loopholes to avoid it. Which I think is a shame, but I don't expect much constructive talk to come out
of
that thread.
I think we should though clarify that code repositories on gerrit and diffusion are not owned by any one person, but are technical community spaces held in common for the benefit of the Wikimedia movement. And yes, that means sometimes your favorite project will get documentation commits you personally didn't like.
If this has been unclear, it should be made clear. If that means some people host their self-maintained code outside of Wikimedia technical spaces, then that is their decision and I respect it.
If some kind of official kerfluffle is needed to decide this, let's talk about how to do that.
