Error in judgement? "My actions were a last-straw attempt to try and force
two issues, which were quite successfully forced."
Or were you referring to the earlier incident?
Neither sounds like an "error in judgement" to me; rather a plan of action
deliberately executed.
Besides which, the hijack upload of xfree86 was a far worse problem, and if
*that* wasn't the error in judgement, I'm not sure why the other one
matters.

You have poor recall and even poorer quoting skills.

But, what the hell, let's pretend I said "debian-x" instead of "public
mailing lists", since that seems to be your interpretation anyway:
What is it you expect to be hideously wrong about that both A) is not
germane to the debian-x mailing list; and B) would make any difference to
you or anyone else?
Be "hideously wrong" about international politics or the correct wording of
the Social Contract all you like; if it doesn't touch packages for which I
have responsibility in whole or part, it doesn't really matter much, does
it?

[2] An exception would be bug reports against packages that I
maintain personally (i.e., not as part of the X Strike Force). To date
that hasn't been an issue. (XSF bug reports go to the -x list.)
