Re: Debian needs more buildds. It has offers. They aren't being accepted.

(a) Anthony didn't say "should be brought up to the committee" if you
pay attention to all of the sentence above, (b) surely some developer
would be willing to sponsor a disagreement being brought up by a
non-developer to the committee if it were a reasonable complaint and in
line with the TC's charter?

Ah, another disappointingly knee-jerk cabal accusation without the
benefit of facts. The committee list is publicly archived; both their
decisions and the process of making them is public.

See our web site, under either "Debian's Organizational Structure" or
"Developer's Corner". (The latter will lead you to a web page maintained
by the TC listing the decisions they've made.) Since these are the
obvious places to look for any group of officers in Debian, it seems
clear to me that you didn't look.
