How about answering the (valid) points instead of dismissing them off hand
as flamebait? I've been reading debian-newmaintainer-discuss, and found
several cases were someone's been put on hold for not answering an email
in a couple weeks. Is it not fair to complain when the DAM is going to take
a leave of absense for a few weeks without notifying the waiting maintainers?
If it takes a year to complete my application, I will quit. I have a number
of other projects I'd like to do - Project Gutenberg, GCC, several free
software projects of my own. It's not worth hanging around a year for a
project to accept me as a volunteer. It's unreasonable to hinder a volunteer
from doing work for Debian for a year for no good reason - and having one
person as a bottleneck is not a good reason.
