If putting up with you venting your spleen in the above manner is what
it takes for us to even present the illusion that:
1) the Technical Committee is a going concern;
2) the Technical Committee's rulings are honored by the archive
administration team, and those who are affected by its decisions
generally;
3) the archive administration team thinks it's actually a good
thing for the requirements that the archive management system
makes of Debian developers who upload to it to be documented;
and
4) Debian cares in general more about being open to new
developers than it does about territorial pissing and accretion
of power in the hands of a select few who, frankly, don't give a
damn about the Debian Constitution or anything derived from it.
...then I guess it's worth it.
We have a Constitution for a reason. Live by it as it stands, or call
for its amendment or repeal.
Thanks for writing the patch.
I still think it would be a good idea if the Technical Committee
documented its decision per 6.3.3.
