In both cases I have made proposals to go forward but the other side have
deliberatly ignored them. I can make nothing against stubborness.

My answer is simple: it was wrong for me to commit in the
developers-reference repository. But the fact that you didn't provide a
convincing justification of the rule before you escalated it up to
the technical committee is the reason why I took it as a personal bias of
you against me instead of some rational decision.

You used that argument twice at 12 months of interval, I was truly under
the impression that you made it up to block further contribution from me.
I was following the PTS and the bug report related to the XML conversion
had not seen any activity since a very long time (Jul 2006!):
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=374220
I think I have brought all the facts in this thread. My behaviour wasn't
perfect and never will be, but I have made sincere attempts to solve the
conflict and you simply ignored them. The fact that you brought the story
under a strange question for a DPL debate proves that you're not yet able
to forgive me. I'm sorry for that.
