No. The conclusion is that sane Debian developers do recognize the
problem and prepare an effective solution for it in silence. In
the meantime wanna-be developers are allowed to troll on debian-devel
list. They should just not be able to appear as beeing competent or even
be in charge, which has been prevented by the DPL.
What is wrong with not being a DD? I'm not one, I'm not in NM, I don't
maintain any packages, I just care about free software and Debian in
particular.
Debian is supposed to be *open* and *transparent*. Telling off users
because their opinion doesn't matter is just stupid. What Mike said is
completely relevant, and IMHO correct.
