And that's great! Do not see it as a rejection: Yes, you were not
deemed ready to become part of Debian back then. Maybe you would now -
But being part of Debian is not just uploading packages... A couple of
years ago we didn't have DM (which, although is often criticized,
_does_ solve problems such as this one). Being a DD requires more
involvement and idetification with the project than "wanting to
directly upload software".
So, nothing bad in being happy with being "just" a DM. It is a great
contribution! (And yes, I do think we should try and get more profiles
besides DM and DD, for different sets of tasks)
