Here's the message I must have read to imply that you seconded it:

I guess I mininterpreted you and you were seconding Manoj's objection, or
some such thing? Anyway, it's been corrected.
(As an aside, I wish people would stop saying "I second that" to things that
are not a formal proposal. If it's not a formal proposal, it doesn't need
seconds, and a second is juat another "AOL!"/"Me too!". And it makes my job
harder. It's spilling over into debian-devel as well. (While I'm griping, a
proposal really doesn't need 6 seconds like some have gotten. 2 or 3 is
quite sufficient.))
