Perhaps becuase it's easier to hash out ideas in a small group for
eventual discussion by Debian-at-large? The problem with the large
Debian mailling lists is that there is always someone more interested
in perceiving words in the most unfavorable form, rather than actually
getting work done. Since the DPL can't actually do much of anything
without much broader consensus, I don't see the real problem.
(To be clear: I *don't* think Martin is one of those people, and this is
not aimed at Martin.)
The reality is that anyone running for DPL probably has an idea about
who in Debian they respect, and who they'd go to for ideas and second
opinions. All Project Scud has done is make that idea public. We, the
voters, can look at that list and decide if we also respect those people
or not.
