Over six months ago, on 2001-11-14, Bug #119517 was submitted to the Technical Committee for a ruling. No member of the Technical Committe has participated in any public discussion of this bug (at least in the bug logs or in available messages from the debian-ctte list archives) since 2001-12-04, and no apparently discussion of any sort since 2002-02-26.
Does the Technical Committee have any plans to issue any statement on
this issue? Either an affirmative statement regarding the issue on
point, or a statement that the Committee refuses to countenance the
it? If the latter, please provide some reasoning as to why, as Section
6.3.6 of the Constitution appears to be applicable:
Technical Committee makes decisions only as last resort.
The Technical Committee does not make a technical decision until
efforts to resolve it via consensus have been tried and failed,
unless it has been asked to make a decision by the person or
body who would normally be responsible for it.
Note that the "unless" clause is applicable here, as the package
maintainer explicitly requested a ruling from the Technical Committee.
In fact, both disputants made such a request.
Thanks for your attention.
