All of this (as a non-Debian but Fedora user) tells me that Debian is going through a really rough time. For the future of Debian and free software in general, I do hope they figure out how to remove all of the stop energy and get back to making a world class distribution. Just like Redhat, there are so many projects maintained by actual Debian Developers and Debian has written an epic amount of man pages, just to name a few small contributions from Debian as a distribution. It would be a very sad day if Debian devolved into another Gentoo when Daniel Robbins left and it all went to crud, birthing (more or less) Arch Linux in it's place.

And then you have ANOTHER high profile departure like Russ Allbery from the Debian Technical Committee:

And Colin Watson as well? https://lists.debian.org/debian-ctte/2014/11/msg00052.html
Very sad to see
