Hi,
The response from Justin never got a reply. Justin didn't agree with
most of the remarks, hence I'm closing this bug.

Hello Paul,
I object to your closing of my bug report. I object because the reasons
you gave do not, and not at all, justify your closing.
My bug report was sent on 17 September 2019. The very next day you wrote
to [email protected]:
Dear debian-l10n-english members,
Yesterday, I received the following bug report about the templates of
dbconfig-common. I recall the templates have been reviewed on this list
in the past, could you please comment on the remarks by Maarten?
Within three hours, your e-mail was answered by Justin B. Rye. However,
in the period from 3 March 2015 to 18 August 2019, Justin B. Rye and he
alone, had been involved 29 times in reviewing the English templates of
dbconfig-common. Therefore, Justin B. Rye was not independent.
Justin B. Rye was like a butcher who examines the quality of his own
meat after being publicly confronted with a complaint about his meat.
Unsurprisingly, he claims publicly that there is nothing wrong with his
meat. You must have been fully aware of this, Paul.
Because the esteem of Justin B. Rye was fully at stake, his comments on
my bug report are untrustworthy. Even if your e-mail had been answered
by another member of debian-l10-english, the answer cannot be qualified
as independent.
When you wrote to debian-l10n-english on 18 September 2019, I received a
copy of your e-mail by the Bug Tracking System. I was surprised to read
that your templates had been reviewed in the past. I also read the
response of Justin B. Rye. After I found out that he himself had
reviewed the English templates in the past, I concluded that neither it
would make any sense nor there was any need to respond.
After I received your e-mail of 22 April 2025 by the Bug Tracking
System, I have read through the response of Justin B. Rye once more. His
response is very tendentious and seems dishonest. This must have led me
to investigate whether he had been directly involved in the past.
Sincerely,
Maarten
