Yes, that is the problem, people are waiting for me to let go of the
issue, and make as if nothing, stay humbly back, and in a year come
back, as a sub-DD with always the threat that people will again hurt me
or try to expulse me or whatever.

Well, the solution is easy enough.
Debian says :
In the lamentable incident involving sven, and a handful of persons,
both parties share the responsability. The debian project upto now
chose to fully side with one party and unfairly punish the other.
This is not an acceptable way to handle such a problem, the debian
project presents his apologies to Sven for the one-sidedness of its
handling of this case, and accepts the apologies of Sven for the
numerous rehashing he was forced to make of this issue.
The Debian project furthermore commends Sven for the tentative of
reconciliation he has made, and notes that the other party of this
dispute was fully uninterested in resolving the issue.
All the unfair sactions are lifted, the d-i team choses to not forget
the old grudges, and will continue to stop Sven from working on d-i,
which is an attitude to be frowned upon, but so be it.
To which i respond something along the lines of :
I truefully regret that it took so long to get a fair resolution of
this conflict, and that the d-i leadership rejected my repeated offers
of conciliation, as well as the proposal of an in-RL meeting at
FOSDEM. I will not pursue this issue, and work outside of the d-i
framework for the part of the d-i related work i do.
I sincerely regret that i had to write so many mails, and thus have
bothered so many of the DDs, and sincerely present my apologies for
this, but i saw no other way out, and even asking for help, and trying
alternatives like the wiki pages didn't help.
From now on i will makes amends, and go back to contributing positive
technical stuff, and stop being a nuissance.
Everyone is happy, except those few who can't feel satisfied without
full bloody victory and will never recognize that just maybe they have
some part of responsability in this, but i guess everyone will have only
pity and contempt for those, and not allow them to hurt the project and
fellow DDs like they did in the future, and everyone will go back to
happily coding ever after.
Easy, isn't it, and an honourable and honest thing to do. Why is it so
easy ? And why do so many feel that the only response to this is hate
and rejection, and (ab)use of force and power to solve this ?
It all could have been solved a year ago, if there was a real will for
it. I know i showed such a will, but it was not matched by the other
side.
As you say, it takes two to argue, but it also takes two for
reconciliation ...
Saddened,
Sven Luther
