But this is upside down! An advocate is someone who has worked with the
applicant, and can vouch first-hand for his fitness to become a DD. How
would requesting an advocate on debian-mentors fit with that? Is the
applicant in question not actually involved with Debian work yet, or do
none of the people he's worked with feel he should be a DD (!)?
