In short it's: Let us start with the "long term" ASAP, considering
what we need during this transition.

I agree.

Interesting post. I disagree with the term "Debian Maintainer", i
think we can get rid of that with the old NM process. If the person
has rights to vote or translate (considering a special infrastructure
to do that in the future) what will be the term? I suggest "Debian
Uploader", "Debian Translator", ... We can call "Debian Developer" or
"Debian Maintainers" the person with "full privileges", IMHO. Consider
that "new maintainer" should be the DD candidate, at least during the
transition.
