We are all aware of the issue you are eloquently illustrating. I will
not make false promises and give any metrics I intend to reach as DPL.
The reason behind the current metrics are well known problems in our
world. As DPL I do not have the power to make the world a better place.
The DPL task is making Debian a better place for discriminated people
and I love to work together with Sruthi on this - no matter who will be
elected.
Kind regards
Andreas.
