Reference: https://docs.kernel.org/process/code-of-conduct-interpretation.html#code-of-conduct-interpretation In the period of April 1, 2024 through March 31, 2025, the Code of Conduct Committee received the following reports: Reports received: 17 Development process related reports: - Education and coaching on maintainers' right to accept or reject patches. Clarifying the expectations that developers can't demand their patches to be reviewed and/or accepted by the community. These reports were about a developer demanding their patch to be accepted even after repeated attempts by maintainers advising the developers to understand the development process. Code of Conduct scope and enforcement related reports: - Education and coaching on the role and scope of the Code of Conduct. Several reports from people outside the kernel community reporting past incidents before the Code of Conduct was adopted. Reports resolved clarifying the scope and validity of reports about past incidents before adopting the Code of Conduct. Insensitive comments reports: - Education and coaching on the role and scope of the Code of Conduct. Reports about Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) related actions and offhand comments in technical discussions that do not rise to the level of violations. Unacceptable behavior or comments in email: 6 - 4 reports resolved instituting remedial measures on two individuals restricting their participation in development process. -- Rejecting pull requests from an individual for a full release cycle.
