I've sponsored a lot of Corsac uploads as well, and I've worked with him
and Simon co-maintaining Xfce packages for a while.
My experience working with Corsac has been pretty similar to what Pierre
Habouzit said about Fathi: the number of spotted problems and
suggestions about his work decreased with time, and now I'm just a proxy
between himself and the archive. I always check his changes but I almost
never find issues. That's time consuming for me and frustrating for
Corsac.

He deserves to be a DD.
$ find desktop/trunk -name changelog|xargs grep -- "-- Yves-Alexis"| wc -l
158
$ find goodies/ -name changelog|xargs grep -- "-- Yves-Alexis"| wc -l
126
And it's not just quantity. It's quantity *and* quality.
Now, if it takes more that one year and five months for people like
Corsac to become DDs, we really do have a problem with the NM process.
However, the DM proposal seems to lessen these problems allowing Corsac
(and others in his very situation) to *at least* upload packages, and I
can only second that.
