Matrix governance shit, rant
Seriously, when will the Matrix people accept that their governance procedure is exclusionary and doesn't work?
Today I learned that you're apparently *expected* to repeatedly ping them for status updates over a timespan of months to get any MSC moving, including for an MSC whose purpose is literally to fix the governance and capacity issues for everything else
Fuck this shit, honestly. Fix your governance process if you actually want people to contribute. I can barely remember what I ate yesterday, why are you expecting me to do your job of proposal tracking
re: Matrix governance shit, rant
This marks the end of my attempts at fixing the governance process, I guess.
The MSC is here, in case you want to read it: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4073/
re: Matrix governance shit, rant
As I was told: "it's not tracked as something which needs comment in the next 3 months."
Okay then. Guess you don't actually want your capacity issues to get resolved.

Also growing increasingly tired of the "the Matrix spec is a collaborative process, and we would like more people to get involved in development" refrain
Well maybe you shouldn't have these kind of fucking barriers that you can only pass if you are abled or it's your full-time job, then
re: Matrix governance shit, rant
To summarize this whole thing: if you're in a crisis, I lend you a helping hand to get you out, and your response boils down to "you didn't file the correct form"... then I don't think you actually want to solve the crisis.
