I think your paraphrasing of my statement is wrong.
Explanation for my initial statement: This reflects a personal judgment,
not an absolute rule. My reasoning is that the DPL's formal position
might unduly influence the outcome of a GR, and I prefer to avoid that
potential imbalance. I aim to treat all Debian Developers equally and
therefore choose to refrain from initiating GRs--not because I believe
it's categorically wrong, but because I think it's the more impartial
course of action in my own case.
Kind regards
Andreas.
