I can't speak for Manoj, but for my own part, I have not seen any
evidence that ftp-master is letting things through NEW which are in
clear violation of the DFSG, so it doesn't come up.

So far, the release team has shown no awareness in this thread that
ignoring a technical RC bug is entirely different from ignoring a
