Re: FTP masters willingly blocking OpenStack nova 2013.1 just right before the OpenStack summit

[Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk>]

AFAICT Thomas has not yet referred this issue to the committee.
Please therefore don't CC the TC mailing list in your discussions.

It is fine to informally ask the TC a preliminary or procedural
question, just by sending to the list.  But we are having a
substantive discussion here.

If the matter _is_ to be dealt with by the committee, it should be
sent to a topic-specific bug report as described here:
  http://www.debian.org/devel/tech-ctte#referquestions

Thomas, in particular, as the potential complainant: if you are still
discussing the matter with just Goswin, ftpmasters, etc., please do so
on an another appropriate list.

If you now want the Committee to actually help mediate/decide, we
should have that topic-specific bug report.  Otherwise it's hard to
later find the history and rationale behind TC decisions.  (And of
course a bug means we are less likely to drop the work item.)

Thanks,
Ian.
