To be fair to Pirate, Andreas Beckmann suggested #856606 that if
Pirate disagreed with Andreas, Pirate should go to the TC.
I don't think any of the Release Team have been asked yet.
Sadly, there isn't a "reportbug release.debian.org" category for
"please determine RCness of #NNNN". So I am just emailing
debian-release@l.d.o on this mail.
To debian-release:
The question is whether #856606 is RC.
I think you will find the best summary of the arguments in this
message:
