By your logic, such a hornet's nest would be unwarranted and not to be expected if we had a project-wide policy of allowing anyone to upload any package they wanted without following the NMU policy, if they felt it had been waiting long enough. Either respect the current policies, advocate their change, or have the courage of your convictions and see where the chips fall. If you're sure you're right, then go ahead arrogate to yourself the power to upload any package maintained by other developers at any time, and for any reason you see fit. -- G.
