bring me directly and deeply into Debian-Ubuntu politics which is a
significant drain for me.

I am not aware of that. If we have consensus, then all the better.

Where would I read up on that? I am not deeply enough in those
political things to be able to judge whether a discussion from 15
years ago is still valid today.
