Same for me.

What sides have you identified in my personality? :-)
More seriously, while I'm not 100% happy with how the python transition
got handled, it's a good example of a difficult topic with two major
opponents that were blocking each other.
I jumped in and wrote parts of the missing code, discussed with both sides
what is acceptable and got the whole process moving again. I've been
thanked, I've been criticized, I've made difficult decisions (NMU
debhelper), I've made errors but I always tried to push for the best and
in the end we have gone forward.
Cheers,
