I'm wondering why...

You are writing on a ML it is natural to argue on POVs, I think that in
such place the only thing to respect is "to be constructive" in a
discussion.

I'm very proud to have become a DD after a long time of life troubles
that have caused a long stop of all my work on debian, I haven't
"abbandoned" any of my packages, just because others peoples helped me
with patches and suggestion on how to solve issues. Luckily  no one
asked me to go away from the project.

I think that such type of cooperation can help the project. I think that
is sad to read an email like "negative vote for xxx" without any
proposal to help. IMHO a criticism like this is useless, try to help
instead.
