 The other day, I was upgrading cups and dpkg did ask me the usual way
 if I wanted to keep my cups config file or take the upstream version.

This email looks very familiar.  Did you send something quite similar a
few months ago?

I see the wiki page started on: 2009-03-23

but there is no discussion page yet ... perhaps we should use it ?

 Hi Joss,

 I'm not sure if one cannot say this, as you nicely show in the following 
 words that you definitly totally fail to discuss :(

I disagree.  Joss is posting to the list.

 
  But it takes at least 
  two persons to discuss, and Matthias has been ignoring all technical
  discussions about Python packaging for years.
 
  This is not a technical problem. The technical divergences can be solved
  if consensus is reached about them or if a decision body (TC or GR)
  forces them. This is purely a person problem: Matthias is clearly not
  willing to maintain python-central correctly nor to make it evolve
  according to the needs of developers. These are two very good reasons to
  keep maintaining an alternative.
 
 Hint: it takes two to discuss. If I were Matthias and would read those 
 statements, I probably wouldnt see added value in talking to you neither.

Joss says that Matthias has been unresponsive for years.  That could
be a factual statement ... I think you might give Matthias some time to
respond himself before jumping in.

 
 
 regards,
   Holger
