We also prefer that one has had some experience as DM before applying for DD: having DM experience generally makes the NM process much swifter. This does not mean that we reject all applications from people who were not DM before, but it'd be nice to have the advocate provide a reason, especially for people who maintain few packages, for which there is a hurry to get a DD account now, and DM (which is more immediate to get and requires much less work) wouldn't do.
