tech-ctte decision on gnome-control-center donation popup

Dear all:

The Technical Committee declines to overrule the gnome-control-center 
maintainer in regard to the donation popup (see original bug report 
[1]), as they have merely exercised discretion within their 
constitutional bounds.

However, the TC explicitly refrains from ruling on whether or 
not package maintainers should generally allow donation 
requests in Debian and what kind of solicitation is considered 
acceptable. It is up to the Debian project as a whole to 
develop a policy in this matter.

Details of the decision process can be found in the TC bug [2].


Cheers
Timo
for the Technical Committee
