Timeline to the reform of Debian membership.

Dear all,

thanks to Julien who blogged about it, I discovered that Steve also agrees that
the reform should be done after the Lenny release, through a vote.

What we have experienced in the past weeks has been "killing the fun" for all
of us.

Nevertheless, in my opinion, the most authotitative information about the
current status is the message posted by Joreg on debian-project <at> l.d.o
(87ej27bu3c.fsf <at> delenn.ganneff.de), which clearly states that the changes
announced in debian-devel-announce <at> l.d.o (<878wsgmi1j.fsf <at> vorlon.ganneff.de>)
are "A new policy". Also, the constant emphasis on the fact it was not
implemented yet is what makes me think that it is decided.

Joerg, it would only take a clarification email from you saying that no new
policy has been *decided*, and I think that the current GR could be withdrawn,
now that the Project leader has clearly supported the idea of deciding changes
through a vote. 

I really hope that we can read from you soon.
