Why are you prepared to override[0] Andrew Bailey, Era Eriksson, Markus Grunwald, Thomas Viehweger, Hongzheng Wang, Vincent Bernat, Pranith Kumar, Punit Agrawal, Volker Mische, Johannes Stezenbach, Wei Liu, Alberto Luaces, Pierre-Elliott Becue, Wookey but not prepared to override Ron Lee ? Have you been reading debian-project ? From my point of view[1] perhaps I should give up on trying to persuade TC members. After all if the TC does not transfer maintainership in such an extreme situation as this, my job of perusading DDs to vote to give responsibility for these decisions to someone else is very easy. Ian. [0] I have listed all the people who explicitly requested a new version (assuming, I think, that they are Debian users who want to use global 6), and the people who have done work to prepare new versions, in chronological order. I have excluded Shigio Yamaguchi because I think their primary status is upstream. [1] My point of view of trying to fix Debian's totally nonfunctional processes for dealing with unwarranted blocking by maintainers, which is a drum I have been banging for years and years now. -- Ian Jackson <ijack...@chiark.greenend.org.uk> These opinions are my own.
