Fedora Council overturns FESCo provenpackager decision

The Fedora Council has ruled on the Fedora Engineering Steering
Council's (FESCo) decision last year to revoke Peter Robinson's
provenpackager status. In a statement
published to the fedora-devel-announce mailing list, the council has
announced that it has overturned FESCo's decision:

FESCo didn't have a specific policy for dealing with a request to remove
Proven Packager rights. In addition, the FESCo process was handled entirely
in private. The contributor didn't receive a formal notification or warning
from FESCo, and felt blindsided by the official decision when and how it was
announced. The Fedora Council would like to extend our sincerest apology on
behalf of the Fedora Project to them.
