 That response is astonishing to me. The suggestion to split the team 
 originated inside the former ftpmaster team[1] and was raised on 
 multiple occasions. Ftpmasters were informed about the planned 
 delegation split several weeks in advance. It was also mentioned in my 
 bits on debian-devel-announce[2], with a link to the delegation texts in 
 Git. I therefore expected comments from members of the FTPMaster team as 
 well as from the broader Debian community - and indeed received several 
 from people outside the FTPMaster team. 
  
 My last mail on the topic, sent to the ftpmasters' internal list, was:

   Message-ID:  
  
   Since I haven't heard any objections or alternative proposals regarding 
   the planned team split, I intend to proceed and send the updated 
   delegations this weekend. 
  
   Of course, if anyone has concerns or suggestions-especially about the 
   timing or wording-please let me know before then. I'd be happy to adjust 
   if needed.

 Unfortunately, no objections or alternative proposals were received, so 
 I proceeded with what seemed the most constructive path forward: 
 creating clearer scopes of responsibility to make it easier for new 
 contributors to join and for existing work to be shared more evenly. 
  
 I intend to continue supporting both teams, in particular by helping the 
 DFSG & Licensing team build up the capacity and structure it needs. 
 That's why I asked for volunteers and why I trust that new contributors 
 can help improve the situation for everyone involved. 
  
 The best way to shape how NEW processing evolves is by taking part in it 
 directly - volunteers are warmly invited to join the renewed DFSG & 
 Licensing team. 
  
 Kind regards 
     Andreas.
