That bug was forced upon the maintainer. He made his decision, others disagreed and used their positions to push their opinion on him. However, so far I have not seen any reference to the Debian Policy which grants such a particular right. > This is/was blocking the migration of some packages to testing (at least one > from GNOME, that's why I start caring). That was not Joerg's fault.

There was no consensus from the maintainer. There were people pushing on Joerg, you jumping on the bandwagon and forcing the change on him. Again, no justification with reference to corresponding parts of the Debian Policy. > Not much more to say here. So you think it's acceptable to override maintainer decisions without the CTTE which is supposed to be used in this context? Would you be okay for this to be done with your packages, too? > Laurent Bigonville who just spent his last care replying to this mail. Not sure I understand what you mean? Thanks, Adrian -- .''`.

I may have missed something I'm the sponsor, I was not put in the loop over this decision and Joerg may not have been available the past three days. Joerg Frings-Fuerst as the maintainer made a decision. That decision was not accepted by Julien who opened an RC bug. Joerg disagreed with that but felt he didn't have any voice against a member of the stable release team. Then Laurent came around, not knowing the discussion and uploaded a an NMU just informing the maintainer not me with just a three days heads-up and now we have another person overriding a maintainer's decision. I'm not sure why that upload happened. Adrian -- .''`.

Was this a hijack or NMU? I saw a NMU to DELAYED with a log in the bug announcing it. I may have missed something paultag
