Please, stop this whining it doesn't bring you anything. I don't believe Frans
is acting in bad faith, though he might still not trust you or even like you,
but that's something totally different...

I don't believe he will try to attack you, though he might be cautious and you
may be felt as attacked because of that...

Most people just want to work together, not reply to whining... Your
accusations might be correct, though it doesn't bring you or the project
anything if you keep repeating them...

Andreas Barth asking you to send something to debian-release could be seen at
least as a sign of being unbanned...

You could send a notice about the proposals and maybe asking to join the
discussion on debian-vote, but certainly not sending a Cc to debian-release in
the middle of a discussion.
