Why are you arguing with one of your release deputies[1] on a public mailing list, instead of working out procedures as a group, and present coherent and consistent recommendations to the rest of the Project? It's been almost four months since Joey H., Colin W., and Steve L. were officially deputized; I would have thought this sort of thing would have been hashed out by now. Also, why aren't the assistant release managers mentioned on Debian's organization page?
