DMs are by definition uploaders who have *not* yet demonstrated, to the satisfaction of the project, their capability to do unsupervised uploads of arbitrary packages. Why are you so eager to gut our QA processes? DMs should request sponsorship of QA uploads on debian-qa just like anybody else. If they consistently demonstrate their competence in this fashion, they should be recognized for this by making them full DDs - not by conferring additional rights on DMs that the DM admissions criteria aren't set up for! -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
