I do not think that the fact that they have not applied yet,
can be taken as sign that they "don't want to go through
the "pain" of authenticating themselves to Debian, demonstrating
they no what they're doing, and agreeing with Debian's principles".
They might simply not feel ready, one should start the NM process,
when (s)he is ready for T&S and PP and has an advocate. NM is just the
"final exam", and no "How to be DD in 6 months" course.
