I'd like to add that I'm not opposed to changes in our membership policy. But those changes could fundamentally change our project, and I believe that it's important that there's a lot of discussion about it, so we make sure that we take the right decision. We probably need change, but we don't need any change. We shouldn't accept the first proposal just because it changes things. I'm also not confortable at all with a process where a single individual posts his decision, we are allowed to suggest changes to amend it, and then the same individual implements his decision. And this is not about being personal. I deeply respect Joerg, usually support his choices, and acknowledge that he did more grunt work for Debian than most of us. I also hope that we will never vote on this GR, because Joerg will publicly acknowledge that he probably was a bit too fast and he will stop all work on this topic until either: (A) consensus is reached ; (B) or a vote decides how we want to change our procedures. But until Joerg does, we need this GR, unfortunately. Thank you, -- | Lucas Nussbaum | lucas@lucas-nussbaum.net http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: lucas@nussbaum.fr GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F |
