     I object to the conept of "people who do not care about becoming
a DD"  becoming maintainers of packages.  Permitting prospective
developers to get sponsored packages in Debian is generally accepted
(but not by me), but allowing any random hacker to get a package in
without even starting the new-maintainer process is totally
unacceptable.
