We should ensure that the document describing the organisational layout
of the project[1] is accurate. I can come into Ian Jackson's reply[2],
and I don't feel it is really needed to tackle this issue, as long as
the differences either way are mostly academic. I intend to focus on
real issues instead. When the difference is relevant, I will focus on
achieving what I want to achieve. As I wrote in my platform:

| problems they like to contribute to. It is the nature of the Debian

What remains on the plate from the current term, is working with some of
those teams to get some bottlenecks and other issues resolved, but I do
not expect to need to (or that it would be effective to) resort to
powers only available for dealing with delegated teams, nor do I
currently consider any of the issues pressing enough to promise
working on them in my platform -- I will work on some of them, and
direct more attention when needed, but there are only so many hours in a
year, and I want to focus my DPL-ship.
