Err, perhaps apply some common sense? Does anyone really doubt
that the stable release manager is missing? Or is no longer involved
in Debian? Why is there such a stringent requirement for a email
address anyway? Why can't interested parties pone the consultant
directly?
De-listing Joey seems to smack of mindless application of
bureaucratic power, in the sheer absence of even a modicum of
thought.
