    Branden is a lousy politician. He has no sense of diplomacy, and furthermore rubs a lot of people the wrong way. He should never be the public face of Debian.

    But Branden is an important contributor to the project. Pretty much everyone recognizes that and appreciates it, but that respect and appreciation does not translate into votes. There's a political component to being Debian Project Leader that Branden just doesn't have.
