Replying since I have already sent my application.
I would like to become a DD. However I tend to scratch short
term itches such as maintaining the occasional small package
and sending in bug reports with patches. This means I don't
interact with anybody long enough for them to become confident
with advocating me. Its been like that for a few years now,
and I don't see it changing in the foreseeable future.
In the mean time its become obvious I can contribute to Debian
without being a DD, so the urgency has diminished somewhat.
There are still things that I like to do but can't do without
becoming a DD. Things such as voting, helping out in areas
where Debian appears to be short staffed (the NM queue seemed
like it could of used help for a while), adding new packages
without having to beg for a sponsor, sponsoring others, and
not having to bug Anibal to upload my packages.
And my reason for becoming an DM? It removes one item off
that list.
