[snipped] I offer the following in nature of a substitute: I propose that Debian developers make reasonable efforts to resolve disputes off-list before proposing general resolutions of a personal nature. I further propose that Debian developers who do not follow this procedure have the entire contents of Emily Post's "Modern Etiquette," version 2 or later, permanently imprinted into their brains, said procedure to take place as soon as technology is widely available to do so. I also propose that developers make reasonable efforts to avoid sending unsolicited email to other developers, particularly when the email is generated by an automated process. Nothing in this paragraph shall preclude the sending of bug reports to the Debian bug tracking system or the use of project mailing lists to disseminate information of interest to multiple developers subscribed to said lists. Finally, I propose that people lighten up. To this end, I propose that Rodney King be hired by the project in the capacity of "person who should say, 'Can't we all just get along.'" in the event of people not lightening up. Mr. King will be given a monthly salary of no less than $1.00 per outstanding bug report of severity "normal" or higher in all packages of priority "standard" or higher, pro rata for every day his services are required. In the event Mr. King is unavailable, the DPL or his designee will be empowered to exercise said power without compensation. Mr. King or his substitute may exercise said power by any form of interpersonal communication desired. Mr. King's role may also be fulfilled by a bot on the IRC channel #debian-devel, again without compensation beyond necessary random access memory and processor cycles. Finally, in no event shall anyone who has ever posted a procmail recipe to debian-devel exercise said power.
