I think I joined by uploading my first package (make) -- after
arranging with its previous maintainer, of course. However, when I
came up with the radical idea of creating a package to create kernel
images programmatically (rather than creating each image
semi-manually), I was told to get my image packages ratified by Simon
Shapiro, the then kernel-image maintainer.
So I had to get my kernel-package packages sponsored by
another develper even though I was maintaining other packages ;-)
And no, I never went through the NM process (my key wasn't
even signed by anyone known to the project back then)
