I spent some time today to help the QA team to manage those pending 
security updates. And for the second time in a week, I've been facing 
rather unpleasant attitude from someone else from the same team:
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5939

I wonder how we're supposed to work together when expressing an opinion 
about issues prioritization expose you to harsh comment from someone 
unable to express his disagreement without agressivity. That's not much 
point ressorting to "we're all in the same boat" kind of metaphor during 
IRC meeting to thereafter suggest to leave the board to people 
expressing concerns about the boat heading...

So, before any further contribution from my side, I'd like the people in 
charge of security updates to find some internal agreement about what 
kind of help they expect from other people exactly. If that's just to 
push a non-discussable list of changes into spec files, they could as 
well ask for SVN commit and package submission rights, to do it 
directly. This would avoid a large amount of anger and frustration for 
everyone.
