In that hypothetical case, before assuming someone was playing politics, I'd think: Maybe he wasn't working on a Debian-related project, thought that Savannah seemed the best place for his project and sent a courtesy post to debian-legal since that list is still mulling over gpl 3 and so has an obvious interest in how quickly the FSF is adopting it?

When I signed up to be a Debian developer, I did not sign up to limit myself to working exclusively on that project, nor did I sign up to be accused of playing politics.

(FYI, Francesco Poli is not a Debian developer, and the project, "markonvert", deals with Fortran, which is not especially relevant to most of Debian.)
