I think your paraphrasing of my statement is wrong. Explanation for my initial statement: This reflects a personal judgment, not an absolute rule. My reasoning is that the DPL's formal position might unduly influence the outcome of a GR, and I prefer to avoid that potential imbalance. I aim to treat all Debian Developers equally and therefore choose to refrain from initiating GRs--not because I believe it's categorically wrong, but because I think it's the more impartial course of action in my own case. Kind regards Andreas. -- https://fam-tille.de
