Well, if he loses his vision, I think he won't come back to work again
for debian. And if someone has problems with his real-life, he can often
tell an estimated date when he will have his problems solved. That's why
I just wrote several months, without any further defintion. So this can
mean two months in a series, but also one two weeks, then 6 weeks, where
he' stuck because of real-life and then 4 weeks. (Don't take this
figures literally, they are just examples). I just think it would be
good to have them work a certain time for debian first.
