I think that he really wants to say: it is hard to get a (first)
package into debian. That is not a problem which is solved by becoming
a DM.
I have never faced problems finding sponsors for updates of my package,
and I don't have the impression that it are those packages which don't
find a sponsor.
Apart from that: I haven't applied for DM yet because I still found it
useful that someone reviews my package prior to uploading. Although
one can also argue that that is partly the role of 'unstable'.
