So, you clearly agree that there is no technical reason for the the svn commit
access to be removed. This is a strong claim of frans and joeyh, that this is
not a personal dispute, but there are technical reasons for the current state
of things.

I would very much like a detailed comment from you to justify this. I am
really baffled by this, i have tried nothing else than doing good technical
work, and the other side is handling me "FUCK YOU"s and other agressivity.
Maybe you could also rule that frans and co should stop everyone time, and
allow technical improvements to go into d-i without further social-dispute
mandated constraints.

Great, and if the DPL choses to further ignore the issue ? It is not like i
have been trying to get in contact with him for over a month now, and mostly
failed ?
So, as conclusion, this means :
The technical committee rules that :
1) this is not a technical issue, even if is has technical consequences on
the quality of the debian distribution on powerpc, and affects our powerpc
users.
2) i should stop bothering the technical committee about this.
3) the DPL should create a proper delegation to a group who will be able to
handle a fair mediation on this, as well as have the power to act afterward.
This is fine with me.
I would appreciate if you modified those points :
1) your accusation of my behaviour is unjustified, and one-sided, please
drop them. They bring nothing, and fail to be objective.
2) if you do not do this, then you have to be fair, and condemn both
behaviours.
Friendly,
Sven Luther
