I don't see why this is needed. I am privileged to be paid by Canonical to package GNOME for Ubuntu (and more). I do a significant amount of work in Debian that is good for my employer. I believe that my work is also good for Debian. I do all my work without hiding my identity and use my company email for emails like this or bug reports or git commits. Would I need to include a disclaimer for every bug report, git commit, merge request, and IRC message so people are informed that Canonical may benefit? > - Refrain from participating in decisions where their neutrality could > reasonably be questioned. Do you really want employed people to contribute **less** to Debian?? I interpret your explicit mention of Canonical in your original email as an attack against Steve and Colin for daring to prefer upstart over systemd more than a decade ago. I don't think that's fair and I don't think there is any reason to debate that now. There aren't any Canonical members on the Technical Committee and I don't think we should discourage any from joining. Thank you, Jeremy Bícha
