Hello. I'm just a Debian user for some years and I'm writing to this list because I found that at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=660814 the Debian Multimedia maintainer Fabian Greffrath was very wrong, by being not only wrong in what he said but also very impolite. I wrote to a follow-up of that bug report ( http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=660924 ) about what I thought of it: "Fabian, who do you think you are to call d-m-o's packages as 'crappy'? d-m-o is a traditional and very respected 3rd party repository for Debian and has been for years. I can't tell the same of you. You know very well why it uses an epoch in their versioning: exactly so as people that want/need to use the extra features/packages it provides don't mix what shouldn't be mixed with the official Debian packages. I'm not sure if you're a Debian Maintainer or not (or worse, Debian Developer) but this kind of big mouthing shouldn't be accepted from a DM/DD. If I find out the proper channel for this I'll raise this subject so as the Debian contributors know that they should measure their words otherwise they should step down (even a 'do-ocracy' has its limits)." So I'm writing to this list to raise this subject that a DM/DD should stand to a minimum level of respect, specially when talking about fellow contributors (even unofficial). Maybe this is already in some sort of code-of-conduct for someone applying for DM but if it's not, I leave here my suggestion.
