Please reconsider your statement of the problem. It's not that
extreme and that's why you see the solutions as extreme.

After krooger wondered about adequate transparency, there was

It's not like I don't write enough daft things for you to quote
back at me, but you still feel compelled to invent worse quotes!
On the mentoring material, I *asked* where it was first off *and*
got a couple of *great* replies! Yet *you* still put the boot in.

Of course, that criticism is justified, but I'm working on it
already. Last week, I rejoined debian-www to refamiliarise
myself with how the web site works so that I can expand the
information on there. I've patched one bug and been beaten to
a couple of others. I'm a little concerned by the number of
old bugs for mirrors, but I'm not working on that now.
In mitigation, there's only one of me, I only started translating
esperanto at all *after* debian-women was created and I'm
willingly active in the DPL election right now, so I feel it's
still fair to ask: what are you doing to tidy your house?
