Re: debian-keyring, what's happened?
Marcus,
Please don't Cc me. Especially when I say in the mail "Please do not
Cc me". You're either being rude or not actually reading the mail
you're replying to.

No shit. Do you think a) I'm not involved in that process and thus
not aware of that? b) it would have gone anywhere near as
smoothly/speedily or got as far as it has if I had either not
cooperated with Dale or actively opposed his efforts?
You are also ignoring or ignorant of the number of AMs Dale has had
either drop out, do nothing or be forcefully asked to drop out.

What do you want me to do? Make a list and post it to debian-devel?
Get real.

I did not and have not complained about the lack of help, except maybe
in the context of replying to people whining.
