I request the Debian Technical Committee intervene regarding Bug
#1135385, concerning the default-enabled donation notification in gnome-
control-center, currently dismissed as a duplicate of Bug #1120511.
I think my starter-for-ten position on this is, very briefly:
* I strongly dislike this sort of pop-up and would much prefer we
disabled them by default in Debian
* I don't think such pop-ups _in general_ violate the social contract
(though particular instances might)
* I think, absent a general policy on such popups, the case hasn't been
made that would warrant overruling the maintainer here.
* If these sort of popups are going to become more common (as seems
plausible), it might well be time for us (==Debian) to develop a policy
on them
