[maemo-community] Good bye!

[From: Jed]

You clearly didn't follow all the threads, this was discussed in-depth. 
Everyone agreed they should be allowed to partake too.
Re-read the criteria, whoever was deemed to have made the biggest 
contribution were to be granted a CA.
That did not EXCLUDE people who contributed through coding efforts.
Generally such efforts have the biggest impact & require far more 
effort/skill/time.
So it's only logical that more of such contributors would win out over 
other community contributors.
I was disappointed that I didn't win, but I know my contributions 
haven't had anywhere near the impact that others on the list have had.
Have an honest look at yourself, can you honestly say the opposite?
I noticed INABT didn't make the cut, that was very surprising.
But the competition was so tight, there was always going to be some 
deserving users who missed out.
