I am currently on NM process. And as far as I know, there have been totally over 700 developer of Debian officially. What I would like to point out here is, totally over the world claims that debian is being obsolete. New releases are so slow. Yes they are partially right. However, with 700 maintainers, Debian is slow. We would like to be a part of Debian through NM process. However, NM process cause a deeply undesireble emotions on applicants because of 2-3 years wait duration. To me, opposing to the policies Debian is on progress to be a Mysterious box to the outside world. We believe we could be helpful. However, We are trying to be cut off from that project. Totally this is agaist prejudice on Policies.. and DFSG. Debian Maintainers are becoming too elite. However, outside world becoming more excluded. And Debian finally is becoming so obsolete.
