Over the past several years, Luke has been at the center of many contentious disputes within the Bitcoin ecosystem, and this week a new forkcoin spun out of Bitcoin under his leadership. More specifically, Luke was heavily involved in the creation and implementation of BIP110, the proposal that led to the fork. During that process, he also exercised his authority as a BIP Editor inconsistently with the established editorial process unfairly favoring the proposal he was involved in. For example, he attempted to assign a BIP number to the draft publicly on Twitter before the proposal had been discussed on the mailing list, and he merged a PR updating the BIP within minutes of the PR being opened. The latter is particularly notable given that Luke has otherwise made hardly any contributions to the day-to-day work of the BIP Editors since the additional editors began serving in April 2024: he left fewer than 1% of the BIP Editor comments in the repository since then, and the merge action of this PR was his first since May 2024. Communication between Luke and other BIP Editors had already broken down last year, following a discussion about his attempt to side-step the process by prematurely assigning a BIP number out of band. Taken together, I believe these circumstances raise serious concerns about Luke continuing to hold editorial authority. In particular: - he has exercised his editorial privileges in a manner that raises conflict-of-interest concerns; - he has contributed little to the ongoing workload of the BIP Editors; - his recent championing of a contentious soft fork that now appears to evolve into a hard fork represents a complete departure from the Bitcoin development ecosystem; and - trust, communication, and coordination with the other BIP Editors have broken down. For these reasons, I motion that Luke be removed as a BIP Editor. Murch -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Bitcoin Development Mailing List" group.
