LLVM's Code of Conduct Committee Fails: A Story of Open Source Contribution
2025-05-12
An open-source contributor submitted a bug report to the LLVM project and faced unfair treatment. Despite providing extensive evidence, the Code of Conduct Committee ruled against the contributor while overlooking clear violations by other contributors. This raises questions about the enforcement of Codes of Conduct in open-source communities and concerns about fairness and accountability. The incident even spilled over into the Mesa project, further highlighting the need for improved conflict resolution mechanisms in open-source communities.
