They didn't ask you because Debian is not a democracy and random > opinions on this decision *don't* matter. Indeed, they will bear the *primary* liability. However if legal action is taken against them or our mirror operators because of their decision, the whole distribution process might suffer, affecting all developers and users. By reading your email, I feel you are acknowledging the fact the ftp-masters cabal (I can't name it otherwise after seeing their behavior IRL) is treating other developers as second-class contributors who should just do as they say. Re-read the constitution. By several aspects, Debian *is* a democracy. Some developers are ignoring it, but this is something that should be fixed. -- .''`.
