It is absurd to claim that a documented, public, DVCS branch for the packaging is a statement that the maintainer doesn't expect collaboration from other DDs. There has been no clearer indication to me in this bug's history that your pursuit of this issue is not based on concerns for the technical maintenance of Python, but is instead the result of some personal dislike that you have for Matthias. Regardless of any other outcome of a vote on this issue, you can be assured that I think you would be an unfit maintainer for the Python packages, and I will not vote in favor of any option that puts you in a position of authority over Python in Debian. When this bug report was first filed, I had no particular reason to think you were unreasonable, despite your having signed on to a petition which I believed was ill-considered and misinformed. Your various comments since then have changed my mind; you never miss an opportunity to insult or attack Matthias, and generally make the debian-python mailing list a hostile environment not only for Matthias, but also for anyone else who works on Ubuntu or is employed by Canonical. Some of us have thicker skins than others and are more able to tolerate this behavior, but it is nevertheless poisonous and it's entirely inappropriate for someone seeking to hold a leadership role within Debian - not because Ubuntu and Canonical are special, but precisely because they *aren't* and you persist in singling them out for ridicule. You are in no position to say that Matthias does not want collaboration from his fellow DDs when it's you who continues to make it very clear that you want him out. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
