Yeah. It didn't really solve anything though, proof of which is we are still
all loosing time following this discussion.

Ah, well, the idea of a mediation is to solve the disagreements, if you don't
focus on the reasons of these disagreements, chances are good that your
proposed solution will fail to address the real issues. Mediation attempts
over social issues are very different from issues ported to the TC for
example, where a technical judgement is enough. Mediation over social issues
cannot be successfull without understanding the human beings behind the DDs.
Not sure if the DPL is best placed to solve those issues, we don't really
elected him (well you this time, but the same for those before) on those
criterias alone. Maybe a social-issue-delegate or team would be a better
solution. We have had enough sociologists who did studies of the debian
community and such, there is probably some experts of that field who could
comment on those needs.

No, but it may improve on how things will be in two months, and beyond.
