Huh, i must have missed that one, can you resend it ? > The offer stands and now the problem resurfaces, I will do something > to resolve this one way or the other instead of letting this problem > (endless mailing list noise) continue. In the absence of feedback from > Sven, I'll just make a guess at what's best. My proposal is the following : That this is used as an experiment in how to solve social conflicts in debian, in the hope that a fair procedure is set up which will enable to avoid such problems in the past. We should setup a committe who could be trusted by both parties, and trusted to take decision in full clarity and transparency, and with a real argumentation they would not be ashamed of to present in public, contrary to what happened upto now. This committee would then investigate the issue, try to talk with all parties involved, and get them to forget their old grudges, and come to an agreement on how this could go forward without punishing one side and hoping they will go away. > Any objections, comments or advice? I welcome such a decision, i am unsure a GR is needed, it was my opinion, that now that we have a DPL who may be able to take an impartial decision on the issue, he could nominate such a committee, or give a self formed committee real delegation power. But i may be wrong on this, and maybe a GR is the only solution, i am unsure of this. So, who is interested in finding a fair and human solution to this mess, a solution which debian would not be ashamed of, and need to hide in the DAMs mailbox, and at the same time pioneer a mechanism that can be used in the future to deal with social problems like these ones ?
