If you make this distinction between Debian and Debconf you'll have
to ask yourself why we are talking about Debconf press releases on
Debian lists.

It would indeed be much more helpful if you would have collected
interesting bits during Debconf since you were around and provide
it to the Debian press team in time, so that we could've prepared
a good press release in time for the end of the conference instead
of just moaning about everybody and their dog.

Please don't consider everything I write as a personal attack on you.
Not everything is, believe me. Please also respect that somebody drew
the connection between Debconf and Debian and started this thread on
the Debian list with Cc to some Debconf address.
As long as we're talking about Debian, Debian lists, Debian website
and Debian press releases I'm happy to work together with whoever
provides proper information for a potential press release, even if
such information are originated in Debconf (especially since I consider
it part of Debian and have never understood why you are duplicating
work).
Regards,
Joey
