"I've also learnt that the Debian maintainer hireachy is democratically elected.." WHAT??? That is absolutely false. Anyone who desires to become a Debian maintainer can do so. All it requires is that you have a gpg key, apply, satisfy an Application Manager that you understand and agree with the Social Contract, and also satisfy the AM that you have the basic skills and knowledge to perform the tasks that you intend to perform. Nowhere in the process is there a vote.
