The paragraph above basically meant: don't try to work with people who do
not want to work with you. Debian is diverse enough to have both type of
people. Don't get burnt by those who do not want and do make efforts with
people who are interested.

Well, too late to rephrase anything. But my idea is to have Utnubu collect
concerns of various Debian developers, try to make proposals and then
forward those proposals to the Ubuntu community council and to their
technical board.

Yes, see my answer to myself on -project. This is basically a "you can
already do it, the open use logo is there for that".
