We do draw the line somewhere currently: 1) Must be DFSG Free 2) Must have a maintainer willing to maintain it, and a Developer willing to upload it. ftp-masters (with occasional help of debian-legal) deal with determining if #1 is satisfied. Maintainers and Developers deal with determining if #2 is satisfied, ideally by applying some sort of common sense to their decision. The ITP anouncement on -devel helps to at least makes sure Developers are aware of the issues surrounding their package. If you're suggesting that we need to move where the line is drawn, then by all means, propose some reasonable metric which can be applied to all packages as an extension of these two (rather basic) rules. The appropriate forum for that is -project (or possibly -policy). Perhaps I'm naive, but I would hope that Developers are capable of exercising their judgement on #2 with enough veracity to be all the arbitration necessary.
