The DAMs already have the authority to make any decisions about someone's
status as a Developer. I don't see any bugs in 8.1 of the constitution;
these are the powers the DAMs *should* have, what needs to be changed? If
what you want is a different procedure, that doesn't need to be a
constitutional amendment, just propose something and get it accepted by the
DAMs themselves.
