No, it wouldn't. Not even slightly.
You have _no_ right to demand I do anything with my free time, or anyone
else. Unless you're their boss, you don't even have any right to demand
anything of people specifically paid to work on Debian.
The correct response to someone who goes MIA from Debian, or who gets
bored with doing stuff, or who develops a personal vendetta against you is
to be grateful for everything they've done in the past, and to volunteer
yourself (and prove your competence beyond any doubt, and whatever else)
if necessary.
How _dare_ you question the honour of anyone who's given of their free
time to help out Debian? Is your heart truly so blackened with arrogance
and selfish greed?
Cheers,
a "Hi Omnic" j
