This is true even for those who > are DM already. Is that really problem? We need people who take the right decisions (and that includes asking questions when they don't know or are not sure about something), not people who can repeat all our documentation from memory. I would personally be fine with a process where the applicant would only send a signed mail saying "I've read, understood and agre with the Debian social contract,the new maintainers guide, the developers reference, and the debian policy.", with 5 different DDs providing a detailed advocacy for the applicant. That's basically what we agreed to do for DM, and it works quite well. -- | Lucas Nussbaum | lucas@lucas-nussbaum.net http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: lucas@nussbaum.fr GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F |
