Adam has shown since he contributes to Debian en masse, a lot of deficiencies that render him IMHO a bad candidate for DM. He doesn't get well along quite a lot of Debian Developers which isn't great, and usually shows a very aggressive attitude, [0] is a good example of that. He repeats at lengths that he cares way more about quantity rather than quality, and always choses to upload new packages instead of fixing bugs, and all what he cares about is that a new upstream enters unstable, now matter how. See for yourself in [1] where he does lots of errors a *beginner* would not do, whereas he's contributing for more than 18 months. Another example is [2], an RC bug he didn't even took the hassle to acknowledge. Unanswered for months. Finally, I won't provide the pointers for it, but it's not hard to fine, his attitude during (the still ongoing) wx2.8 issue has been more than questionable. I think it's not hard to find quotes where he says that he's capable of uploading any wx2.8 package to unstable because he needs it as a rdep, but does not really care about maintaining it. He has shown a really bad and aggressive attitude in the already tense "discussions". IOW, I don't think Adam is responsible enough for the DM status.
