Assume the demarcated hypothetical scenario to be true for the questions which follow.
===BEGIN ALLEGORY=== I spend the next several hours sending Andrew Suffield chain letters that say "if you don't fix tla by Thursday, your liver will transform into mascarpone." I send these emails without making use of Debian infrastructure, so as to not violate the DMUP. Andrew buries his face in a pillow and cries until Saturday, at which point he realizes that his liver is normal. Fuming with rage, he then declares to his favorite stuffed animal that, henceforth, he will ignore any bug I file. Furthermore, he will ignore any bug that anyone else files on tla, and will refuse to do any work on tla. He does not announce this publicly, but his stuffed animal leaks this information to a select few other developers, and the rumor makes its way to the DPL. When others offer to NMU tla, he informs them that it is his package and they must keep their grubby little paws away from it. ===END ALLEGORY=== Is any of this Debian's business? If so, which parts? What is the role of the DPL in such a situation? How would the answers to the previous three questions be different if either Andrew or I were a DPL delegate or an NM applicant? Should there be rules codified to address any of the actions in the aforementioned scenario? Should there be rules codified to address any interpersonal behavior not mentioned in said scenario? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
