This might be moved to -newmaint.

Ok, i see the point of private stuff.

Let's be positive thinking: i like it. This mean that we suppose anything to go
on in the best way in the future, we will never face again these problems with
DAM or keyring or whatever internal Debian structure because things
changed. This makes any issues here irrilevant. Thinking to a solution for a
100% transparent structure would be a waste of time. We are supposed to accept
this for paceful living, because we trust the good changes or perheps
because delegates are choosen from the DPL (person which we are supposed to
trust).
I think it won't stand for long. In any case, since structure is not so
open and it's not worth of changing, complains about it should not be sent on
-devel, because we can't do anything in almost all the cases (not to mention
-private which can't be reached by anyone)...

And here i understand that we should redirect any attempt to flame^Wcomplain
any one in Debian key-points to leader@d.o, assuming people to think they have
_concrete_ problems (really reasonable; i suppose it already happened in some
way).
"This is OT here. If you think you have a problem with Debian structure, you
should speak with leader@d.o." will cut any thread short. I supose DPL should
not complain about this, because, after all, he choosed them.
I sow a problem, but i was told to live with it: I'll remember it, and go on.

Oh, well, sorry. I did not ment to write to you as the DPL, but you know... it
happens that you are :)
I can rewrite my sentence as "I trust the DPL, this...", and it would have the
same meaning.
