Debian Developers, you all suck

As I speak, there's now MORE THAN 300 BUGS IN ETCH. You all Debian Developer suck hard.
A very good job was done by french developers and some others guys last month to reduce this number under 300 before the 15th of June. Now we should be under 200 (yes, two hundred) in 3 days. That seems totally impossible, and the french team (or maybe I should say the A team) is quite on holidays. Unfortunately it seems that MadCoder was right.
Anyway, I'd like to thank people like Steinar who tries to make continuous effort to squash down RC bugs. These sort of guys really help.

I think Steinar's work is brilliant and a true inspiration: However, he's not the only person working hard. If you read about the fixes he's done, often it's "fix by NMU using patch in the BTS". Great. Someone else has written the patch. If you are a DD, you can NMU and upload the fix. If you are not, what motivation do you have to work on the bug count, if credit goes to whoever takes your work and uploads it on your behalf?
I said "people like Steinar". Not only Steinar.
I meant, people working on fixing RC bugs.
There's still too many DD working in their corner and increasing the RC count.
I appreciate it is slightly tongue in cheek, but some of the release critical bugs still appear to be not release critical. Some even only occuring on architectures that Etch won't release on.
Perhaps we need /. style moderation, where if your previous bug reports are categorized too highly you lose the karma to place new release critical bugs.
Did I just read Windows Vista will release "when it is ready", those guys at Redmond are learning quick

It's still possible to downgrade RC bugs which are not really ones.
French people Rocks!
