yep, you screwed up, at least in my eyes :P ;). First off, such an announcement won't reach a large number of developers unless sent to e.g. ubuntu-motu or ubuntu-devel (@l.u.c). CC'ing ubuntu-motu and keeping the complete original text for reference. That aside, I find it very interesting and disturbing that membership of otherwise voted upon boards are (as it occurs to me from this mail) prolonged by the will of one developer. Maybe you can clear up what happened? Did that happen on request of the community council? Or was it that tech board interfered here? And if either, on what basis? Or anything else I just didn't get? Cheers, Stefan.
