Yep, I was listed as allrounder there, that doesn't mean that I was
explicitly involved in every DebConf decision though. I only became
aware of your case after the fact, the decisions around your involvement
in DC17 was made purely by the DC17 local team.

Unfortunately I have no idea what you're referencing there. Feel free to
forward the message (or relevant parts) to me if that could help.

Sorry, you've lost me there, I again don't know what you're talking about.

I wasn't sure what to make of your request, and from off-list mails it
seems like some parts of it were being addressed. I think you might have
to start from the beginning and explain what it is you're requesting
from me.
