The subject of your mail is "When to commit into repositories of teams?"
and you thus imply that I have commited without authorization in the dpkg
team repository. That's simply not correct.

I didn't revert anything. Ian only committed in seperate branches.
The unaccept has been requested by Guillem and I simply pinged ftpmasters
on IRC and communicated the status of the situation to -devel.

I wasn't aware of the new review rule and you didn't explain it to me. I
said that I will happily provide patches instead to let other people
comment in the future. My commits were not ok but you failed to explain me
why. And I didn't want to replace you and I'm always ready to work with you.
In Ian's case, he was aware before the commit that we didn't want him to
do the merge and despite the guidance that I tried to provide him, he
stubbornly was blocked to the unconditional merge of his branch as is
(that is with a messed up history). Ian hasn't accepted any compromise and
hijacked the package and clearly showed that he doesn't want to work
with Guillem.
I hope you see the difference.
