So all of X.org is now running on fd.o? Even the elections?

Since you yourself were involved in a major security issue just over 5 
years ago (1), you can understand that i do not trust fd.o one bit. 
Especially when it comes to x.org member elections.

(1) The hacking of the radeonhd repository, for which you claim you 
"only" gave your root key to ajax, and did nothing else. Given the 
correlation with the timing with your Nokia dismissal, the fact that I 
had recently joined nokia and stayed, and the likely hot water you 
subsequently got into with collabora, i seriously doubt that your claim 
was the full extent of the truth.
