Re: Bug#750135: Initial draft of resolution
The current draft reads (lines reflowed):
> Background/Rationale (Constitution 6.1.5):
>
> 1. In #750135, the Technical Committee was asked by Manuel Fernandez
> Montecelo who should be the maintainer of the Aptitude project. He had
> been actively committing until his commit access was removed by Daniel
> Hartwig. Manuel and Daniel took over development of Aptitude in 2011
> with the support of Christian Perrier, an admin for the Aptitude

> eventually resulted in Manuel's commit access being revoked by
> Daniel. Since then, Daniel has become inactive, and did not comment on
