I don't think "others ... [voicing] their support" is really the key
thing here. Technical decisions like this will be made for technical
reasons, not by counting supporters etc.

If you think the conversation is stalled and cannot be restarted then
a referral to the TC is appropriate.

Yes, please, get someone else to act as driver for this issue if you
can. You are of course entitled yourself to escalate to the TC, but
we'll probably get a more constructive discussion if you try to keep
out of it.
If you and your collaborators think the conversation with ftpmaster is
essentially over, and want to escalate to the TC, we'd appreciate it
if you could follow the process here:
http://www.debian.org/devel/tech-ctte
That will make it easier to keep track of the discussion (and if you
follow that process we won't have to do the bug gardening and
forum-shifting ourselves).
Thanks,
Ian.
