It seems a bit premature to already be bitching > about how horribly long all this takes. how come people don't read the thread before posting to individual messages. it's *not* *me* that i worry about, please don't read my post as bitching about my account. it was more about the general feel of seeing large numbers in length of waiting queues. but i guess that there's enough reason for it - quality assurance as well as shortage of time and manpower. i am sorry if this appeared as bitching. my motivation was that we need help help help with woody, and IMHO, people want to be developers first to help. i do see how it's good to not have the developer application process be a process that lasts a minimal number of days. i've had my debian developer signatures for the better part of 3/4 of a year, i've had a package more or less ready to go for about 6 months, i've had a sponsor and advocate for 6 months, but i haven't really felt the need to be a developer. nevertheless, i was very active for debian at all times. now i wanted adrian's 2.4 packages, and i signed other people's keys who thought i was a developer already, but whom i had to tell no. now that person is in the queue with nothing but my key, and i feel awful about it. oh well, i am just talking. let's close this thread. diregard my bitching if you will, or penalize my application for my bitching, okay? i have learnt my lesson. -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:" net@madduck fashions have done more harm than revolutions. -- victor hugo
