Why don't you tell him directly?

Or ask to be heard at the next technical board?
  http://www.ubuntulinux.org/community/processes/techboard/

Various quotes from that web page:

"The Ubuntu Technical Board is responsible for the technical direction
that Ubuntu takes. The Technical Board makes final decisions over
package selection, packaging policy, installation system and process,
toolchain, kernel, X server, library versions and dependencies, and
any other matter which requires technical supervision in Ubuntu."

"The Board meets at least every two weeks, on IRC."

"You can submit an item or proposal for discussion by the Technical
Board using the wiki page TechnicalBoardAgenda."

"Technical Board meetings are open to all interested parties, but the
Board seeks only to find consensus amongst Board members, and
representatives from the Team that submitted the proposal."

"You can submit an item or proposal for discussion by the Technical
Board using the wiki page TechnicalBoardAgenda."


It seems very much like that if people feel very strongly about the
issue, they can easily take it up to any developers, by emails or on
IRC, or to bring it to that governing body of Ubuntu.  It would seem
doing this is a more efficient and organized way of going forward in
this debate than simply doing endless arguments on this list.
