Can I ask what useful things you do for the Project, apart from serving exclusively on the Technical Committee of all Debian's infrastructural teams[1], and which has apparently demanded nothing of you for at least 6 months[2] (and to which your last public contribution was in November of 2002[3], maintain four small packages[4] -- of which none has been uploaded by you in over a year[5], despite the fact that you have NMU-fixed bugs you need to acknowledge[6]? In other words, I am trying to determine the labors upon which you legitimize your self-appointed role as a moral voice for the Project while still being too busy to put forth the sort of concrete proposals you criticize others for not producing. Frankly, I'm stumped as to how you have time to contribute to mailing list discussions, usually to strenously advocate *not* doing something (like clear a GR that has been stalled for over 3 years[7], as the non-free section discussions of the past 2 months have endeavored to do), and not to contribute to the Debian Project in other ways. Perhaps I am merely ignorant; please take this opportunity to trumpet your accomplishments -- I promise I won't regard you as immodest for doing so, just this once.
