We like to give some directions to people that don't claim to know
everything and criticize everything without thinking or worse, reading
what people answer. You shoot mails faster than you read, and it's
obvious reading you.
You don't become a developer in a day, you need to get how things
work, and you can't expect us to explain it to you by the letter because
you're too lazy to read the documentation (there isn't _that_ many, the
devref and the Debian policy are an excellent start, and aren't long at
all[0]). You have to watch, learn by reading, steadily, and not
harassing people. That's definitely not the way it works.
[0] and don't pretend you couldn't know, nm.debian.org was pointed to
you many time in that thread, and in the front page there is the
rough process that can lead you to become a DD and reading the
devref/debian policy is step 1 or 2 IIRC. I wouldn't be surprised
you didn't open the link, because you're the kind of person that
needs to be spoon-fed.
