well, when I call conflict and ask for moderation is not for not being
able to follow the GNU Savannah guidelines.
I'm glad to follow them, I encourage people at my surroundings to do
that saying that savannah is better than others because you are going to
learn how licensing software properly.
What I find difficult is following Ineiev's indications:
(obviously my point of view)
- use vague expresions as "many files has..." "some files has..." "Yes,
the copyright notices are OK (where they are present)" ...
- he sais "all are many" so when he sais many files, it can be ALL
files...
- he sais
>>By the way, since you mentioned your earlier projects, I suggest that you
>>should also check them and bring in compliance if needed.
But When I talked about my first projects? it was asking for help and
moderation, not in the task!
He has afterwards opened a task, and place a message in the submission
task saying: "This task depends on sr #109527."
Well, the only connection between the submission task and my first
project is me, so I feel obviously it has become personal.
- he sais:
>>Some files in your tarball still lack notices. If you are not willing or
>>unable to follow Savannah policies, we'd better not register your package."
when I'm trying to follow guidelines, every criptic Ineiev's message is
answered the best I can with a source code fix.
Why this kind of menace?
So No, I don't feel he is doing a moderation work and I ask for help.

well, the task doesn't say:
"check that all files carry proper license notices"
or easier " there are new files where you have forgotten the license
notice"
it sais:

And it starts in the submission task by this:
>>So, let me be didactic.

well, some kind of paternalist strange way of didactics. :-/
happy hacking!
