so why it's not a repository where all DDs has access, like ones on alioth.

false, but fell free to think so - go re-read the whole bug, there
*are* tech reasons (last one? python2.6 removal discussed with only
release-team and without any consultantion with debian-python) and
there are also behavioral reasons. If you prefer to skip the former
and look only at the latter (from me), it's your decision.

you wouldn't have voted like this anyway, or for any other options
that reduce the relevance of Matthias in Python maintainance. you
probably already said that, now you're just reaffirming it.

the Canonical employee defending the Canonical employees. You're
wearing too many hats at the same time. but of course, how cares.

yeah, please have a look at the gcc-4.7 as default switch.
As always, you've been very passionate to rebut all my emails (of any
kind), but very less in trying to verify if the technical reasons
behind this bug are true and if intervention is needed and do
something about it. More than 2 years have passed, nothing has
changed.
