I'm not sure how much this would help since the committee itself seems to go out of its way to avoid making decisions, but nonetheless things that get brought up on -ctte do seem to get resolved more promptly than things that just fester in the other mailing lists.

I appreciate how the interview step backs to give the bigger picture about how packaging in a Linux Distribution works, the down to earth view about Gnome 3 and the clear explanations of the pro and cons of hardware acceleration. I can understand the desire of people of new developers not wanting to work in team and upload pet packages as such: * first people want to get their hand on packaging themselves to know how it works. Inside a team the packaging work is mostly already done. * if you work inside a team, besides learning all the Debian machinery of dpkg-buildpackage, debuild, cowbuilder, lintian, ftp overrides, and DEP-* you also have to learn the (often) undocumented packaging practise of the Team. Which makes the learning curve even stepper. I of course agree nevertheless that helping in core teams / core packages is more important for the project as a whole. I am just right now looking at the number of unanswered open bug reports in util-linux, and humm, there is a lot to help there.

GNOME has not made this change. And even in Debian I still have the maximize/close buttons to the right (but the minimize button is gone/hidden in GNOME 3).

Where can I find them? For comparison I would also like to see the user interaction studies that back up the decision for moving the minimize/maximize/close buttons to the very left. Is that also natural for LTR languages? I saw those claims back in the days, but I’ve never seen those studies published anywhere. Where can I find them?

This change was done after careful user interaction studies, showing that the first thing LTR language natives look at is the bottom right first in a given window.
