I hereby propose as follows:

 The Committee is of the opinion that:
 1. It is not appropriate for the TC to rule on this matter; and/or
 2. We agree with the existing maintainers' decision.

 And, the Committee feels that:
 3. We feel that the complainant (Sven Luther) is not the right
    person to negotiate with the other maintainers in this area.

 For these reason(s), we conclude:
 4. This bug report should be closed.
 5. Should someone other than Sven Luther have a similar request
    we encourage them to do the appropriate design work and discuss
    the matter with the other affected maintainers.
 6. If such a person wishes to appeal a technical disagreement to
    the Technical Committee we encourage them to do so.

I vote in favour.

Ian.
