Brian, while I don't appreciate the tone of your email here (and feel it 
borders on offensive), I'm glad that you're at least expressing your opinion. 
I'd ask, however, that you do not rewrite history: we have been raising these 
issues about galago for years here on this list as well as directly with the 
authors. i understand that it's convenient for you to ignore that, but the 
annoying situation you're in is your own making at this point.

I'd also hope that you would value the working nature of fd.o as a 
collaboration point for F/OSS projects, and as such start engaging in a 
process of "how do we fix this" instead of continuing to argue something that 
will not actually lead to significant improvement.

now, you don't want to see any change in org.freedesktop.Notifications. i'm 
willing to accept that, and if that is what happens it will mark the end of my 
involvement with and support of the current freedesktop.org[1] _unless_ we as 
a group can come up with a way of ensuring to our consensual satisfaction that 
fd.o will no longer be run this way and thereby avoid creating more poor 
results.

this is a vote of no confidence in fd.o as it stands, and the cause of that 
lack of confidence is galago in how it represents the broken / lack of 
processes here.

start arguing about that and we'll get somewhere.
