thank you for being reasonable and seeing what my proposal intends -- 
really, that's truly appreciated.

Seeing all those proposals coming in -- no list at all, everyone 
forwards to each other etc. -- simply makes no sense. It creates 
overhead, it makes things slow, and that just for the sake of not 
agreeing to a simple proposal, it feels.

To sum up my proposal again: If we are on neutral grounds, nobody loses 
anything, but we all can win. It is not about telling any entity is not 
trustworthy enough -- it simply is the easiest solution for a topic that 
has been cooking for weeks now.

The easiest solution -- and anyone with common sense should agree -- is 
to have a shared list on neutral grounds. Not involving ASF, AOOo, 
TeamOOo, neither TDF, LibO, FrODeV.

That is fair to anyone, does not exclude anyone, does not benefit one 
over the other -- it's easy, simple, and the best way to go. Sure, 
everyone can create own aliases pointing to that list, but the core is 
the same, and that's what matters.

If you folks now start complaining about we don't trust Apache, we can 
answer by complaining you don't trust TDF and so on. It's a horrible 
waste of time, it's lame, it does not help anyone, and it makes me doubt 
we're talking amongst adults, seriously.

And, really, all this crap being tossed around about trustworthiness, 
upstream, downstream, code similarities and insults is worth not even 
the digital paper it's written on.

I made a simple, plain, and easy proposal. Don't make things overly 
complicated, folks.

Thanks for considering,
Florian
