And how is that? Non-DD's can't contribute directly,
yes. Their work is generally gated into the project after being
vetted by DD's. Membership in Debian comes with responsibilities,
commitments, and yes, privileges.

You got anything to back this allegation up? Who is this
mysterious entity gabbing about Goswin in secret? (I am not even sure
what EagleLinux is or was, or what it has to do with Debian).

Umm, I seem to recall you telling the buildd admins in Debian
that heir security concerns were "silly". I would think that may have
something to do with it too.
