E3BF6C78 2009-07-07 Vagrant Cascadian <vagrant@freegeek.org> A concern here is that "Vagrant Cascadian" is not (or was not, at last check) his legal name. Although he is well known in the Free Software community, both globally as well as in and around Portland, to the extent that we rely on the ID check to link DDs back to an identity that can be held responsible in meat space (criminally or civilly), I think the ID check is not fulfilling its purpose in this case. I have a great deal of personal trust in Vagrant's integrity and don't mean to suggest that giving him upload access would pose any sort of "clear and imminent danger" to Debian - but I also don't think I can endorse having Debian /as a project/ accept pseudonymous developers, even if I personally trust them. Ultimately this is the DAM's decision, of course; I'm pointing this out here principally because I know accepting Vagrant as a DD would be inconsistent with our historical practices regarding pseudonymous developers, and it may not be obvious to the DAM that Vagrant's name is a pseudonym. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
