Scott Kitterman writes ("Re: Replace the TC power to depose maintainers"):
> Nonsense. There's no risk for a non-maintainer to come to the TC.
A non-maintainer who comes to the TC:
* Is very likely to find that already unpleasant situation, gets
emotionally worse, at least temporarily;
* Is probably interested in the package in question, and so risks
their future contributions being devalued or ignored;
* Is probably an advanced user of the package and may be dependent on
the package (to some degree or other) continuing to support their
use cases rather than the maintainer letting them rot or even
sabotaging them;
* Is likely to worry that they will gain enemies.
These are distinctly nontrivial risks. Most of the risks are social
in some sense. Some of them are practical. They will put off most
petitioners, given that the likelihood of the TC escalation being
useful to them is very small.
