I haven't said that a fork will help the social problem you and Frans have.
All I have said is that it's your right to create a fork and that it's
a privilege when the d-i maintainers grant you direct commit access.

Fully agreed.

Because this sucks and you *are* annoying everybody else because you
don't want to accept that a privilege that was once granted to you is
not granted to you anymore.
It's sad that the main or one of the most important powerpc porters in
Debian and the installer is not able to commit to the d-i repository
directly, but if the maintainers of d-i believe it should be that way,
then so be it.

Apparently. However, sadly, if you just would do it, it would help a
lot.
