This does seem notably annoying, I too would be frustrated by this. If
there was a transparant reason for why NMs who have been sitting in the
DAM queue got passed up by people who applied to be NMs after you
entered the DAM queue, then this would be bearable. However, with only
one person, seemingly unaccountable and operating without transparancy,
this sort of frustration is going to happen over and over.

As someone who sponsors Troy's packages, would it suffice if I ask that
the DAM process him ahead of others? It would be really nice if I didn't
have to sponsor Troy's packages anymore. However, I am guessing that
others who have made it past their AM are also maintaining packages and
also have sponsors who would like this.

If the DAM wasn't sure if they will accept Troy, I would sure like to
know why.
