Oh, quit whining already. First, "the FTP-masters" is not the same group of people as "the DAMs". There is some overlap, but it is not complete. Ignoring that, I've never seen the DAM reject new maintainers for "frivolous" reasons. More on topic, I've also never seen packages rejected because of "frivolous" reasons. What I have seen is a NEW FAQ which clearly explains the reasons for which a package might be rejected. None of them seem frivolous to me; in fact, if it were up to me, I'd be a bit more strict than what that FAQ seems to suggest. Second, the NEW queue is indeed a bit backlogged; AIUI, however, that's mainly because the ftp-masters were at debconf and the Internet connection there wasn't good enough for interactive traffic, which is required for ftp-mastery stuff. Debconf is over now, so I fully expect the NEW queue to be handled again as good as it used to be in a few weeks. Which would hopefully mean that emile, a package that I uploaded and which is stuck in NEW as well, will be accepted into the archive. > They are generally considering the rest of developers like a boss with > his employees. I've never seen any of them ordering me to do something, which is the essence of an employer/employee-relationship.
