My take on this is that we do not have a problem: at least, none that this GR is addressing. I am of the camp that believe that the only power people have in any capacity in Debian flows from the constitution; which means either the powers listed for developers, or as delegates of the DPL. Recent delegation activity seems to bear this out. We have had full members added to the FTP team, to the DAM, and I don't think we had issues with any other tesm refusing to accept people. We might have issues where the DPL has not acted to add people to delegated teams, or where there are not enough motivated team members that are active, but a GR like this does not address those areas. As it stands, with the delegations already in place, and with the detailed team reviews underway, which indicates that the current DPL is going to be actively addressing the problems we have, that a GR is just a waste of time. I tend to agree with joeyh that GR's lead to controversy, are overly bureaucratic, and should be a matter of last recourse; we are hardly at last recourse here. The problems are already being addressed. All I am saying, is just give lo^H^Hnormal DPL powers a chance. It is not as if our current DPL is sitting on his hands. manoj -- Keep cool, but don't freeze.
