Shades of old arguments. For the record, I am not really doing
this to serve any users. I am doing this cause it pleases my
muse. The community has some meaning for me, but is vastly
subservient to my own needs.

Not quite. But not having a say cause there is a leader wo has
supreme right does not cut it either.
I think the constitution is a fair compromise. There is a
project leader, ad he has delegates. There is a project secretary.
And then there is the tech committee.
But there are checks and balances in place. The structure
desacribed is by no means a participatory democracy, but the
developer have other recourse than "leave the project". I have spent
three years of my life in Debian. I am not going to like leaving the
project being the only choice I am presented.

My packages do not have release critical bugs. Unfortunately,
time constraints at the moment prevent me from doing much more than
submitting bur reports as I find bugs; and reading email during
compiles.
