How many of our upstreams are Tuomov-like ?
Why do you think that we'll integrate Tuomov-like upstreams as DM ?
I'm sorry but a large majority of our upstream are sane and if I can get
them more involved in Debian, I'm all for it. I've been defending those
ideas for years. In my campaign in 2002, I explained that I would have
liked some document specifically written for upstreams in order to have
better interaction and more involvement from them.

You have the right to disagree with the various use cases. That's
precisely why we have a vote. I still believe that we're doing a step in
the right direction with this.

Most DD do that many uploads a year. What about DD being overkill in that
case ? :-)

I'm sorry but you can't generalize your personal stats to the whole
project (if all DD were active sponsors/AM/QA member like you,
we'd have far less bugs and much less problems with NM ;-)).

Well, for the record, I haven't appreciated Loïc's rhetorical questions.
But he clearly signed "rhetorical" and only Joss felt the need to fell in
the trap of replying.
