Reading this thread and how release team members get hit to allow one
package into testing makes me want to use my ftpmaster hat to remove it
entirely from Debian. Have you read their delegation? It's the release
teams right to keep a package out of testing, even if you don't like
them using that right.
And that goes for every single member, so sod the "your own private
opinion or teams position", as soon as someone tells you "no", then its
a no.

As usual with people using their delegated rights you have ways to go
get to change that. Tons of repeating on a list thread/bug is not one of
them. Especially not as you got told how it can get unblocked.
