I do not think that this was the intention, at least not as I read it.
While the way it was written sure can be interpreted that way, I
somehow can see indications that the tone was i nno way related to the
topic. Maybe to the bar in the MiniDebConf basement; at least right
before I read that mail I saw a very tired Holger stumble by ;).
In any case, I think the point here should be - and this, I support
very much - is that we should make the process more open for non-DDs,
that is, contributors new to Debian (but of course that can be somehow
verified as having the true intention to contribute something, and in
a way that, for starters, "getting to know some othe rcontributors"
can be valued as a contribution in itself, to grow and strengthen the
community).
tl;dr: let's take the chance to make the community as open as possible
(ideally, providing good mentoring at the same time).
That, of course, does not rule out any other ideas and concerns on top
of that.
Cheers,
Nik
