Yes  there has been  but in this case there wasn't.  do we want the precedent

Than has never once posted to the fedora-extras-list  according to google.  I 
have no problem with him maintaining koffice.  i have a problem  with him

it  especially after the recent discussions on packaging koffice on the list.
