Be that as it may, one should not get to make decisions critical to the project without knowing the projects culture, methodologies, philosophy, and the basics of its internal structures. I also can't put much trust in a person to not harm Debian (delibrately or inadvertently), if there level of involvement and commitment to the project isn't demonstrable. Lacking that, I would humbly thank the person for their contribution, acknowledge it, and leave enfranchisement off the table. manoj -- Sometimes, too long is too long.
