1. Who entitled you to shift the basic policy of the project?
If it has to happen, that decision is up to the board. If you can't
take the time to verify new maintainers, then let someone else do it.
2. That sounds awfully close to a "closed-team" develoment. What happend
to the principle of "free development" your were citing when i, and
others, proposed to form a core team to oversee the base system.
I think that your overall argumentation is not consistent and that you
bend the rules to reach your personal goals every time you deem it
necessary.
I do not agree with this imposed change of yours and call the
developers to a "vote of dissmissal from office" on basis that you are
no longer working in the interest of the project.
BTW. The lists seem to be defunct again, like they have more or less
since the last action of yours.
