I'm a little unclear on what you're saying here, because if your goal is to get Matthias to participate in Python discussions, unseating him as the Python maintainer against his will is pretty obviously not going to change that. Do you mean that it's a problem for anyone who does not participate in discussions on debian-python to be an uploader / co-maintainer of the python packages? If that's what you mean, can you please explain why you think that's an appropriate standard to set? If there's a maintenance team that inclues some members who handle the tasks of communicating with the broader community, and some members who prefer to avoid mailing list discussions - for whatever reason - and instead work on the technical bits behind the scenes, and everyone within that team is happy with the arrangement, why should anyone else care if a single member within that team doesn't communicate? -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
