Hi, I just want to comment a little bit. Before DM everything was running fine and when I have packaged something, I always found someone from the perl team for doing the upload very fast into Debian. The point is that for being a DD, DMs and NMs must show that they have packages in Debian as maintainer or co-maintainer. If someone only want to work on perl things in debian they will never have any packages in Debian and this is a criteria for entering in the NM step. Damyan told me that Myon or someone else from the desk could view activity in the svn or changelogs but I think that they will not lose time for reading logs and commits before accepting someone for the NM procedure. Moreover I did all first version of libauthen-simple-foo-perl packages. And then I saw that I'm even not co-maintainer anymore. It's a little bit sad since they were my packages and Im taking care of them. I could have be maintainer of these packages but I used the perl team for that since I think it was the right way to work. I think if the perl team keep this policy, every DM and NM would keep perl modules for their own, without using the perl team. friendly, -- ,''`.
