Personally, I believe that there is politics in every aspect of our life. For instance, using or contributing to Debian itself is a political statement.

Or people stop talking with each other.
How would you as a DPL try to lead a community that focuses on producing a great distribution without getting divided on controversial topics?
When there are hundreds of people with clear opinions discussing something, there will definitely be disagreements. What we should focus is how we can agree to disagree and collaborate amicably. We have a good Code of Conduct in place and I would be OK with constructive discussions as long as it does not go in the direction of violating the CoC.
About off-topic discussions, minimizing them would be great for everyone and anyone can divert these threads to appropriate lists.
