Yes.

No, and that's perfectly OK? Some people have more time to give than others.

Not really, but I feel that's generally true for Debian at large :) I 
think joining an active team is an easier way to start packaging though.

I think it's a great idea and I'll be more than happy to join. I've 
heard great things about what other teams have been doing in terms of 
workflow and practices and I'd like to learn more.

I feel it would be really positive if we could try to work towards a 
more standardised set of "team practices" in Debian, to make the general 
packaging experience less chaotic.

I'm sad that some people left, but then again, I don't think a solution 
that suited everyone was possible.

I feel the status quo created a lot of tensions (especially for some 
newcomers who made honest mistakes) and as such, I don't think we 
could've reached a consensus and believe a vote was necessary.

I've said it many times but I really dislike transitions that are near 
the release freeze. It forces us into a crunch and I don't think that's 
healthy.
