I don't think the opening paragraph is an accurate description of the proposal either. I guess it's hard to give an inspiring motivation for an unethical act like breaking a past assurance of limited privacy. A more accurate summary would be: * Debian will start to automatically publish private emails which meet certain criteria, regardless of past policy and copyrights. There will be very limited opportunity for authors to block publication by some to-be-defined process. The default policy will be to publish all. DDs can overrule the team by a GR (which I though was specified in the current constitution anyway, so including it in this GR just adds to the bureaucracy and might make it conflict with a future amended constitution... grr) Fact is, there's an existing process to publish from -private: ask permission. This GR breaks promises, creates bureaucracy and Sven Luther seems to suggest it's ignorant of the constitution. At best, vote to reject. At worst, approve with the amendement. -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only: see http://people.debian.org/~mjr/ Please follow http://www.uk.debian.org/MailingLists/#codeofconduct -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
