As far as I remember, I don't think that any of the d-i maintainers,
debootstrap maintainers, ftpmasters, or sysvinit maintainers have
claimed that it was their sole jurisdiction to decide on the default
init system. So I agree that there's jurisdiction overlap.
Also, given that:
The Project Leader may:
4. Make any decision for whom noone else has responsibility.
and:
The Project Leader may:
1. Appoint Delegates or delegate decisions to the Technical
Committee.
The Leader may define an area of ongoing responsibility or a
specific decision and hand it over to another Developer or to the
Technical Committee.
Once a particular decision has been delegated and made the Project
Leader may not withdraw that delegation; however, they may
withdraw an ongoing delegation of particular area of
responsibility.
I would be very happy, if felt necessary by the Secretary, to delegate
that decision to the Technical Committee.
