How about we actually focus on the campaign rather than giving too much energy into what looks like poorly designed destabilization campaigns? The mail that started this thread comes from someone who, to my knowledge, never participated in Debian mailing lists or Debian at all.

Let the campaign happen, if Sruthi fails to convince, the vote will tell. -- PEB
