Have you read http://www.debian.org/vote/2004/vote_004?
If it's too much to absorb all at once, as a first step you might want to
go through it and read the paragraphs (and associated labels) that contain
the word "Sarge". [Then go back and read the rest with that mind.]

I've decided I do not need to make a proposal. There is already a
proposal which specifically talks about an exemption for Sarge.
I had forgotten about the part of the proposal which specifically provides
for Sarge's release when I suggested that language.
I won't object if someone else wants to make a similar proposal (but
I won't second it unless I see the need, and I'll be ranking it on its
merits.) Also, it's probably useful to talk about the proposal which
provides an explicit exemption for sarge -- if it doesn't achieve what you
want, maybe it would be worth spending some time discussing that issue.
