This would be technical decision. It would stall software development.
It would only end up in overfilled incoming directories or non-debian
archives of unstable - i.e. upcoming - Debian packages provided by the
developers.

Please check out the archives and find out the purpose of debian-qa and what
has resulted in creation the list debian-qa@lists.debian.org. I'm sure that
you're subscribing there and start your bug hunt. I appreciate this very
much.

This is nothing the project leader could do in any way. Even if you would
vote Jason Gunthorpe as project leader it won't help, even worse it would
keep him off of apt, probably.

This is nothing the project leader could do in any way. This has
to be done by the developers. I'm happy to read that you're planning
to spend some time on this.

This also has nothing to do with the project leader. I'm very
happy to also read that you're going to help the boot floppies
team to help simplifying the installation process.

I don't think any of the current candidates would say no to any of
your whishes. So they would all three have your vote. Oh, they
won't be able to implement everything, so nobody gets your vote?
Hups, I must have misunderstood something...
