Clearly wrong. The number of time I already read something like that is
tremendous.
But Debian is still here, and more active than it has never been. Debian
is going its way, slowly but surely.
And I trust James to do the right thing even if his lack of
"transparency" is a bit disappointing from time to time.
Have you counted how many official Debian developpers we are ? And how
many we were last year ?
Just FYI (the numbers are not precise but give an idea nevertheless
knowing that some maintainers don't have any package) :
$ apt-cache dumpavail | grep ^Maintainer: | sort | uniq | wc -l
895
If you look (you can't of course, access is restricted to debian
maintainers) in the account database on a debian.org machine, you'll see
more than 950 accounts (some with special administrative purpose but still
the number seems to match).
Cheers,
