It is exactly because neither in the bug report nor on this mailing list I have read the DM and his sponsor writing "Debian policy sucks, my hack rules" that I stand by what I wrote before. I do not think that writing "Don't upload to Debian, then" on debian-project is legitimate, because it is off-topic. If each subscriber starts to write statements about who he thinks is incompetent, it will be a mess. There are people in charge to manage privileges of DDs and DMs, and in my opinion, and some guidelines about how to ask them to remove theses privileges. At the end of the procedure, there is an answer: punishment, or rejection of the punishment request. What is the point of writing to this list "I think that Mr Foo should not upload". Should these posts be encouraged? Do we want to read more of them? What is the line which will distinguish sound opinion from calomny? In the end, what is the punishment? removing the upload rights, or public bashing? Public bahsing is so easy, because everybody can punish each other, and do not even need to be right… I think that Debian desserves better procedures to deal with mistakes.
