So ... Following this logic I have the power to break everything on your system ... but not to sponsor a future member of our trusted users team ? (Just kidding :D ).
Heh, quite. I didn't claim to have logic on my side, I was just highlighting what our byelaws currently say. I said it was picky, but if we're happy for Devs to sponsor TU-ship, then we should just change the rules. I didn't want to create a big discussion out of this (unless of course people do disagree with devs being sponsors), so if there aren't any reasons contra, I'll put in a proposal to amend the byelaws. I guess this came from an original idea that the group of TUs are self- governing, independently of the developers. Pete.
