Have you read that Daniel is "leaving the community"? Or orphaning all
of his packages? I haven't. I've read that he stops working on
debian-live, as he saw a group taking the project over. That's all I
read from him.

As a non-DD, he can't login in Debian machines. Or do you believe he had
another choice?

The idea of Progress-linux has always been to do all he could within
Debian, and just do things that couldn't be done from the within (for
various reasons) exist there, as an add-on repository to the existing
stable releases to "enhance" them. That's exactly what he has done.

The reason why he doesn't use Alioth is because he thought that it had
many technical issues. Frankly, with the way the fail2ban was setup a
few years ago, the fact that we needed approval from the admins for new
projects and so on, and seeing the kind of reply I had form Alioth
admins at the time, I was close to do the same. Though things are a way
better these days.

Yes, exactly.
