If you are going to bash me, then at least have the honestity to name me
personally. I am more than sick to get this insidiuous bashing of yours all
over the place, while i have done nothing but trying to be correct with you
since months.

So, do the only grown-up thing you can do, and reinstate my d-i commit rights.
You can hardly blame me for having to do the work that i would do if you where
not so childish.

Yeah, and it needs that you stop actively bashing "the powerpc kernel
maintainer" as you did bash "the powerpc d-i porter" previously.
It is clear that you are on a path to try to get me thrown out of debian, and
you are gathering support on this with this kind of comments.
Oh, and BTW, Bastian Blank is as much, if not more, the "powerpc kernel
maintainer" than me these past month, ever since you kicked me out of the d-i
project while i pleaded you to be comprehending, while my mother was dying
beside me. But, then, what can one expect from someone who lacks such basic
decency, as you have shown by your action to be.
Hurt,
Sven Luther
