Some of them are on hold, no doubt, because the DAM feels that their "contributions" would be too dangerous. (Obviously the list is a bit long, and I would have trouble believing that they each of them have questionable technical expertise or attitudes, but that'd be something you might want to contact the DAM about.) Let's keep in mind that people with Debian accounts and keys in the keyring have the ability to run arbitrary code as root on people's systems without any auditing. So perhaps "what are we doing for these people?" isn't the right question. Perhaps "why does the DAM feel that they shouldn't be given Debian accounts yet?" is better.
