This is simply NOT TRUE.
For the record: Ossama's first application was received on 1998-08-26;
Joey entered his tickets into the ticket system and replied on
1998-08-29. That's a whole *gasp* ~3 days.
It _is_ true that his application hasn't been completed after two
months but that's *very* different and is a long story and not all of
the delay was our fault.

They're not upset because you express an opinion, it's because you're
continually lieing about new-maintainer@debian.org and generally
making life difficult for us for no damn good reason.
Respect is a two way thing and you've done absolutely nothing to earn
any respect, quite the opposite in fact. You can't demand respect and
you can't demand things from volunteers.
[Incidentally (and it really was incidental, I had promised Joey to
catch up this weekend prior to Bo's whining on devel), I spent
Saturday night (12am-7am) clearing out the new maintainer back log.
If you're a new maintainer applicant who hasn't received a reply yet,
please send a (short) note to the usual address]
