For myself I've been struggling trying to find the right place in Debian
for the work I want to do since it became clear the TC wasn't that
place. If I'm not elected I'll continue to do that work. Whether I'm
more or less motivated will depend in some respect on how the DPL
approaches that work and on whether I can find a place to be effective.
