Why don't you check it yourself?
Take a look at NM's page http://nm.debian.org/nmlist.php
and some statistics at http://nm.debian.org/
Very often it takes even more than year.

That's normal. I've got twenty source packages in Debian's archives, and
I'm asking my sponsors for every upload. There's nothing wrong with that,
cause happily there are plenty DDs which are so kind to help
to-be-maintainers.
In fact it is required to have package(s) in Debian's archives before
becaming DD.
