Which is to say, no one outside the partipating organisations is in the 
loop?

Isn't this a good opportunity for either the tech ctte or the Scud Team 
to be involved, so the DPL doesn't have to put ridiculous amounts of 
effort into avoiding the obvious conflict of interest?

(I couldn't easily find anything saying who's in the "DCC", so these are 
guesses, but I think the ordering is at least right:

 100% of the DPL is involved in the "DCC" group,
  33% of the SPI board's involved in the "DCC" group,
  28% of the DPL team's involved in the "DCC" group,
   0% of the tech-ctte's involved in the "DCC" group

I guess something like 2%-5% of the developer body as a whole is 
involved in the "DCC"; I wouldn't like to hazard a guess at what 
proportion of Debian's extended userbase use distros involved in it)

Hrm. leader@ cc'ed.
