Dear all:

The Technical Committee declines to overrule the gnome-control-center maintainer in regard to the donation popup (see original bug report [1]), as they have merely exercised discretion within their constitutional bounds.

However, the TC explicitly refrains from ruling on whether or not package maintainers should generally allow donation requests in Debian and what kind of solicitation is considered acceptable. It is up to the Debian project as a whole to develop a policy in this matter.

Details of the decision process can be found in the TC bug [2].


Cheers
Timo
for the Technical Committee
