> Is the interest on Debian dwindling? On the contrary, the project is growing in terms of contributors, packages and internal projects. https://reproducible-builds.org/ https://reproducible-builds.org/ mostly came out from Debian (see https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds ) Despite the name "leader", the role of DPL is close to an ambassador with no power to tell other people what to. The DPL appoints a handful of roles, then hand-on work is delegated and done by other people. The drama on blogs and mailing lists is in no way representative of how most DDs feel about the project.
