I take it that the status of non-uploading DD then lasts in perpetuity, regardless of contributions. So involvement in Debian at one point in the past gets you the right to vote on the project's decisions for the rest of your life. I think that this would be wrong. All of our decision-making processes and conventions are based around the idea that those doing the work get to decide how it's done. Your proposal would undermine this: those not doing the work on the project would have an unwarranted say in GRs and leader votes. > It also occurred to me that this whole discussion should be on > -project, so please reply there. or maybe some other list? anyhow, > anybody is free to reply to this mail in public.
