The debian installer netinst and businesscard images are now broken since almost a month, and since the d-i team kicked me out as powerpc maintainer, and removed my d-i commit rights, there is no way for me to help fix this, and this clearly demostrates that the d-i powerpc port is not maintained anymore.
Perhaps my experience has been different, but I have noticed that when I don't have commit privileges to a particular repo or part of the project that submitting a patch to the responsible individual(s) usually yields results. Though, I am not (yet) a DD, which may explain why am accustomed to working without the ability to directly commit.
I am not trying to make a personal attack here. I am simply saying that "I don't have write access" is a relatively lame excuse. If everyone went by that mantra, there would be no DD-wannabees and the project would likely not have as many people going through the process of becoming DDs.
Caveats: IANAL, YMMV, IMHPTPCOOFMRE (I may have pulled the preceding completely out of my rear end)
