Well, I do know that this should not have even been an issue.
Something that hasn't been voiced is why is their only one DAM? Currently James
does at least four (and possibly many more) things for Debian: debian-admin,
DAM, ftpmaint and keyring-maint. Apart from DAM all of the others have multiple
people assisting so that things don't stop when one person becomes busy.
This episode is simply pointing out that there should be at least 2 or 3 other
DAMs.
