True even to find a advocate it's not easy and countries like Sri Lanka
don't have any advocate at all then what happened to people live in
these countries ? This NM process has to be updated if some one can
joing to ongoing development (something sending bugs and testing
process) I'll work I think because from that advocate can get to know

Yes, thank you for pointing this out. The NM process is a process of
*examination*, not of preparation. How can someone be ready for the
Debian "final exam" if he doesn't know any developers?
