I could have made a mistake?
you are now
suggesting that repository owners do not in fact get
to decide what goes in
their repository and what does not, as if this has been the case all along.
Yes I'm definitely explicitly saying that. Same applies to pages on
Wikipedia: you don't get to own them and veto others' clarifications. And
sometimes an admit makes an edit stick that you don't like.
It is incredibly ironic how against the spirit of the
CoC this all is.
Can you clarify?

This has spilled over into talk about the code of conduct, IMHO
specifically because some people are trying to avoid being bound by it or
protesting its existence by looking for loopholes to avoid it. Which I
think is a shame, but I don't expect much constructive talk to come out
of
that thread.
I think we should though clarify that code repositories on gerrit and
diffusion are not owned by any one person, but are technical community
spaces held in common for the benefit of the Wikimedia movement. And yes,
that means sometimes your favorite project will get documentation commits
you personally didn't like.
If this has been unclear, it should be made clear. If that means some
people host their self-maintained code outside of Wikimedia technical
spaces, then that is their decision and I respect it.
If some kind of official kerfluffle is needed to decide this, let's talk
about how to do that.
