I respect Norbert for the work he did on Plasma/KF/Application packages.

I do not think it is fair to speak of him (or anyone else) as clown.

From what I have perceived he contributed a lot to make timely releases 
of packages happen.

I don't know what is going on here… what this demotion thing about, so I 
do not comment directly on it.

I never had any issues with Norbert.

Generally speaking more and more I have the impression that in Debian 
political arguments became more important than actually getting work 
done in the recent years. I bet that is part of the reason why I 
switched to Devuan for all my private systems.

Ciao,
