I'm not sure that having this conversation stored permanently on mailing
list archive is going to help you or Debian in any way.
I understand you feel somewhat betrayed because Ferenc is going
forward quicker than you but that's life in Debian. This is a
meritocracy and a social project. Some learn faster or have more
prior knowledge, some interact in a way that fits better the
existing developers, etc.
Even if you had the technical skills, you just proved that you
are prompt to insult other Debian contributors and that makes
it a no-go for many of us. We had too many problems in the past
by focusing only on the technical aspect and so we are much
more attentive to the ability to work collaboratively in a friendly
way. That doesn't mean that we can't complain and argue, but there are
ways to do it and you haven't found the correct way, yet.
Cheers,
