Excessive wait for DAM - something needs to be done
I spent the morning working up a short script to parse
http://nm.debian.org/nmlist.php and gather a list of all individuals
that are listed as waiting for DAM approval. With this list, and the
specific applicant status page, I've worked up the following list
(sorted by date oldest to first). If the applicant's status page
included any DAM comments they are included.
First thing you should notice from this list is that there's an
applicant that's been waiting on DAM approval with no comment for over 3
years (almost 3 1/2 years). Yes, 3+ years! That's absolutely ludicrous!
5 applicants have been waiting for two years or longer.
3 of them have a comment from DAM as to why.
24 applicants have been waiting for a year or longer.
13 of them have a comment from DAM as to why.
32 applicants have been waiting for 6 months or longer.
16 of them have a comment from DAM as to why.
This is absolutely crazy! If there's a good reason for these people to
be waiting this long, update their status page and let them know why.
