Also, it could be granted pretty much instantly. I think some confusion may have arisen from Helen's application to dm first and then soon after to dd_nu as well. In general this is an acceptable combination of statusses (even though it might keep DSA on their toes :). Not all contributions to Debian are easily seen or involve uploading to the archive, but I am still keen to recognise them. dd_nu allows recognition of work in Debian, voting rights and some official standing; whilst dm means we delegate deciding someone's readiness to upload limited packages to the archive to those people who work with them more closely. In Helen's particular case, I have spoken with her in person and her application to dm first was an error. She has sufficient sponsorship potential in the team for uploads not to be a problem, and addition of dm status or conversion to dd_u at a later date is not a problem. I'll therefore shortly cancel the dm application. -- Jonathan Wiltshire jmw@debian.org Debian Developer http://people.debian.org/~jmw 4096R: 0xD3524C51 / 0A55 B7C5 1223 3942 86EC 74C3 5394 479D D352 4C51
