This kind of acronym conflict is left unchanged by the
s/Maintainer/Member/ proposal (you have a conflict now, you have one
later).

Actually, now that you mention this, it even gets a lot better because
right now one could be mistaken into thinking that to get the "Debian
Maintainer" status they should apply to the "New Maintainer" process.
(And we can hardly blame people for such a doubt…).

If the process becomes the "New Member" process, this specific doubt
will be gone for good.

It seems a win also on this front.

Cheers.
