OK, how about adding a point to the NM process where the NM states "I DON'T
WANT a @debian.org e-mail address"? Would that be a sufficient exclusion
measure for those who wouldn't agree to that? For the third time I will
state - I don't want/need the @debian.org address; I would be proud if I had
it, but if it's such an important issue, I will resign from having the
address.

I will repeat my question. And what about those who passed the NM process in
a snap and now wait for months for DAM to create the account? (Yes, I mean
myself)

I don't do that and I'm starting to be annoyed by this argument being
repeated all over again. http://debian.vip.net.pl/{caudium,caudium-unstable}
- also rsynced to two other servers. Is that enough of evidence I _do_ work
and create something useful (at least for a few dozen of people - both
inside and outside Debian)?
