I think I am quite sure. I help develop and help maintain the Hurd. As such, it is important to me the direction it takes. What is also important to me is having a voice in the Debian project (of which the Hurd is a part -- at least the front page of Debian makes that claim). Sure, I can post to mailing lists and make my opinion known, however, I cannot vote. Thus, what happens when there is a vote about the Hurd (or in general). Will other developers working and maintaining the Hurd not have a voice? Or what if I wish to call a vote? Or propose an amendment? > You have listed almost everything but you forgot lots of above works are > performed by regular maintaners.

Yes and if I remember correctly, one of those orphaned his packages the other day so that he can concentrate on one of these projects. Should we kick him out because his name does not the appear as the maintainer of the hurd package? > So it means you are _very_ experienced in non-packaging and packaging Debian > work if you have such consolidated opinion.

Before I respond, can you please rephrase it. Thanks. -Neal -- Neal H Walfield University of Massachusetts at Lowell [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED]
