Is there any formal policy as to how and when these release issues are
decided? (regarding codename or release version numbers)? I found this
email snippet[1] on -release (which seems the logical 'where')
"Debian is not a democracy. Debian is a volounteer organisation. The
essential difference is: in a democracy, everybody can directly
influence the decision. In Debian, the person who does something can
tell how he does it (in most cases - and within the limit of the Social
Contract, the DFSG and similar documents). ajt is release manager, he
does the release, so he decides how he calls it." -vbi
that would suggest that its the RM who has decided such issues
in the past unilaterilly.
cheers,
