I'd like to make sure this is really a DD advocacy and not a mistargeted DM advocacy: those three packages have really low popcon and look like they never received a single bug report. I see other activity of Adam in the BTS, though. There is now a preference to have people enter DD once they have accumulated some experience, possibly also as DM which allows unsupervised uploads, unless there are reasons not to do so. The goal is to have people advocated when they are ready to have a DD account *right now*, and aim at a swift NM process both for the applicant and for the AM. See http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2009/11/msg00005.html at "Advocation in the NM process". Ciao, Enrico -- GPG key: 4096R/E7AD5568 2009-05-08 Enrico Zini <enrico@enricozini.org>
