Why ? And who will chose what parts of Debian, and who get access or not ?
If there really are critical parts, then they should be especially
named, and a procedure set in place to determine who gets access to it
or not, in order to avoid the situation we have since a few year, where
a handful of DDs have the infrastructure as hostage, and make everything
they want with it, not even speaking about my own case where it was used
as a weapon in a private vendetta.
Even past DPLs where not able to break this power-grab, which is why i
candidated as DPL, and why people decided to resort to mafioso politics
to stop me.
Debian needs more transparency and honour,
Saddened,
