I don’t know anything about Luke as a BIP editor. Has he ever fucked up?
E.g., when the Taproot authors wanted to amend their BIP to propose a deployment mechanism, he obstructed the update even after all three authors had signed off on it, because he favored a different deployment mechanism. He had also done next to no BIP Editor work in five years. If you don’t do the work, you don’t need the privileges necessary to do the work.
I listed some other grievances in my second email on the mailing list thread: https://groups.google.com/g/bitcoindev/c/knbv3MFwlvU
Let's say your wife went on rampant fucking every dude around and also went against your family.
Do you still keep her in your house?
I thought Bitcoin didn’t have a home, a husband, or a family!
Bitcoin doesn't, but the institution that exists for BIP administration does.
The BIP repo is centralized. I don't see how it could be any other way -- unless they
isn't it "we"?
The BIP repo is centralized. I don't see how it could be any other way -- unless they used some sort of complicated voting mechanism to determine what makes it into the repo, which would probably just be a mess.
The same is true for the Core repo and the Knots repo and the btcd repo and the libbitcoin repo. These projects all have quite a bit of centralization, I guess because of the convenience.
However, I don't think the action against Luke is a sign of increased centralization.
