Especially considering martin applied just a week ago, and only got an
advocate the other day. It seems a bit premature to already be bitching
about how horribly long all this takes.
And yes, if you want to be able to donate directly to Debian (by uploading

that goes with being able to upload any package in the distribution
completely unsupervised.
