+We seem to be having a communication issue. Where did I force a maintainer
+to do anything?
+
+I asked if there is any COMPELLING reason for me not to reenable
+qt3-devel.
+If there isn't, then of course I will reenable it.
+
+It wasn't me who then started a long off-topic discussion about imagined or
+otherwise risks of TDE.

+
+Is there a procedure for that somewhere?
+I would think such discussions are supposed to happen on the MLs (rather
+than in private) and given that board/council members posted in this
+thread I would assume that this discussion is happening here.
+
+Are you saying that the members of the council that posted here in this
+thread would give a different answer if I contacted them formally (how?)
+as members of the council?
+
+TBH I didn't even want any grand discussion, to repeat myself I was just
+trying to find out if there is anything blocking the reenabling of
+qt3-devel.
+(I hope this point is finally clear enough by now)

+
+If you re-read the thread you will find that I didn't start "the fuss", in
+fact it was started by people expressing fears about TDE and some
+board/council members putting preemptive vetos on TDE.
+
+I have no problem co-maintaining the package (with regards to the devel
+side of it) but I'm not aware of any formal procedure to take maintenance
+of a package.
+Is there such a procedure formalized somewhere?
