But I miss an advocate so far, and I won't fine one, being confident in
my skills if I'm passed from one DD to another for every upload.

I do have several [1]. No clue why you couldn't find it on the keyserver
of your choice.

I'm not in the position to judge this, but the DM application /seems/ to
be understand as proof the applicant "knows advanced packaging(tm)".
In fact I met a DD who would have eventually advocated me for DD, but
not for DM as he trusted in my social and philosophical compatibility to
Debian, but not my packaging skills, as he didn't mentor me before
(which is a truly valid deliberation).

That's exactly the reason why I left it there from some templates I used
to use, as I couldn't proof side effects of it.
