And neither packaging nor documentation is what I'm contributing, so I don't
feel that NM process is something for me.

Yes, very stupid and I'm somewhat upset about this sudden turn.

Yep, this is correct as well. It's basically the same as the
Troup-buildd-trust-security-police-passwd-sharing-thingie.
I basically had never problems in agreeing to James new policy, but I wanted
a security for me that this kind of "first change policy, tell people later
and blame them" wouldn't happen again. And communication is the basic ground
to avoid this kind of misunderstandings. He neglected my wish to avoid
future problems.
It's the same now for the buildd in general. I was good enough for several
years and suddenly I'm not anymore?
So, get the things cleared out and come back. It's not about that I don't
want to contribute anymore, it's about that I don't want to contribute under
*these* circumstances. I think, this should be understandable...
