I see your point now. One is morally obliged to fix "his/her" RC bugs,
but it is hard to define the scope of the moral obligation to fix the RC
bugs of "others".
So yes, I've no good solution to advance on how to word that and I hence
retract my proposal.
It is just a pity to lose the occasion to focus attention of newbies on
the fact that Debian needs more from them than just looking at their own
quarters :-/
Cheers.
