I respectfully disagree with the above statement.

1.  It is contrary to the principles for with Debian stands to exclude someone from 
participating in Debian solely because of who employs them.  This includes participating in 
discussions about Debian policies that involve their employer.

2.  It is appropriate for an employee of such a company to disclose their connection to the 
company when discussing policies regarding that company.  Doing so is not a 
humblebrag.  (Doing so when discussing policies that have no relation to the company 
would be a humblebrag.)
