I would like to second Anthony and others here. English is not every

Next time when you are discussing the packages that I maintain, could you CC
me a copy too please? I am not reading debian-policy all the time, and I
do not like my packages being discussed behind my back. (Just like how
Brandon felt when the X11 R6.4 issue was discussed and yet no one
