I don't think it would be appropriate to post it to debian-devel. It's a
policy issue. It belongs here. I suppose one could make a concession by
posting an update every n weeks to debian-devel listing recent policy
happenings and encouraging people over to -policy to discuss them.
Let me be on the record as supporting Phil as 'manager' or 'arbitrator' or
'chairman' (whatever we want to call it).
