Becoming a Debian Developer [eol package]

[David Caldwell <david@indigita.com>]

Hello,

  I've read the info on becoming a maintainer at www.debian.org. I would 
like to start the process but I don't have a PGP key signed, and I don't 
have an advocate. I did scan in my Drivers License and can gpg sign it if 
that suffices. I packaged a small easy program that I wrote a few years ago 
called "eol". If someone would like to critique it, it's at 
<ftp://ftp.indigita.com/other/david/eol/eol_1.0.1-1_i386.deb>. There are 
other package files in there as well (.changes and .dsc--I'm not exactly 
sure what they are used for yet). Lintian doesn't whine about the package 
and it installs and runs ok...But it's my first package, so I'm sure 
there's something I did that is weird.

  I guess I have 3 main questions:
  - Is this enough for someone to be my advocate?
  - Do I really need my key signed by someone, or is a signed ID card ok? 
If I need to meet someone in person, I live in Orange County, California (I 
work very near John Wayne Airport)... Anyone live or work near here (who 
can sign my key)?
  - Is this the proper forum for these questions?

Thanks,
 David
