Thanks Thomas for bringing this. I'm also feeling really bad for Daniel,
and for the project. I fear this lack of attention keeps demotivating
quite a lot of people in the Debian community. I've clearly stated here
that we should (at least try to) elaborate a public response to this
question. And so far I couldn't see any good reason to not do so (except
for keeping ourselves in our very comfortable and private zone?).
I must say it's the second big frustration I've got from Debian in a few
months, being the first one a similar situation related to DebConf
chairs resignation, after being insanely accused of acting as the worst
kind of people.

What we've got as response to this reaction?
https://www.mail-archive.com/debconf-team@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg13265.html
Sorry for pointing this particular email, but IMO it represents quite
well our inert behavior on dealing with social issues inside the
project, starting from the apparent lack of mediation skills of our DPL,
extended to harmful miscommunication between important teams in Debian.
And the worst, all ending up in private conversations. We naively
believing that once the noise out there is down the issue is gone. What
a mistake.
(not private in my words)
