You're not a developer. I don't know why you think repeating that
fact is supposed to alienate everyone.

I want to know what name you use *outside* Debian. Isn't that clear
by now? That's the mimimal courtesy you won't give us. I can see you
at a party. "Hi, my name is Alex, who are you?" "You can call me
John. That's not my real name, but I'll only call myself John around
you." You must be a real treat!

"Exclusion" isn't the point. You, and Hoffman, if you have the
talents and the other necessary requirements, are welcome to join the
Project. But until you do so, it is simply a fact that you aren't
part of Debian.
Now Hoffman hasn't really been hostile. I think he's just following
ratholes, trying to understand a complicated thing. I wanted to make
clear that following every rathole can actually be destructive.
