Right, and that's half the problem. It appears that such has become a
policy without being announced. There was a claim that it was announced on
IRC, but someone came forth and said that he sent an email to that effect
to someone, but did _not_ announce it. Which, in my mind, is worse.
If that is not the policy, then say so, and back it up with action. If it
is the policy, then say so, and let the developers discuss it. If it is
defacto policy, then that's wrong, because it denies potential maintainers
useful information and hampers current developer's discussions about it -
how do you argue against a policy that technically doesn't exist?
