It seems pretty clear that the TC is currently not making sure that his
decisions get acted upon (and this despite Jakub who pointed out the
mistake in https://lists.debian.org/debian-ctte/2012/08/msg00001.html).
But in this particular case, you took it in a very personal way and
made the effort to follow through. IMO this discrepancy and your
antagonistic attitude is harming the committee's reputation.
I agree that Josselin's decision was a poor one but frankly I would much
rather see people work on better N-M integration. If the time spent on
those discussions would have been invested in getting d-i to write
proper N-M configuration entries, some of the reasons why N-M is unpopular
in Debian would have been squashed.
/me hopes Michael Biebl is not demotivated by this series of GR
and ends up working with Sorina to get this fixed:
