In the midst of the huge discussion started at [1], a specific proposal [2] did not appear to have received much counter arguments, namely: merging DAM with FD (both CC-ed). I advanced that proposal because I consider it offers the following advantages: - less bureaucracy: the _decision_ about whether to create an account or not is a single step without dossiers passing from FD to DAM with shared responsibility - no "cold start" in the review process of an applicant by DAM: a member of the new team might remember the applicant from a previous step (e.g. advocate checks) - enlarge DAM team: currently they are just two people, which de facto already receive help from FD in accepting new developers; in the new situation that help can then be used also for other DAM tasks I believe that there is agreement among the teams there is no other need to "decide" anything else. I felt the need to re-raise this topic because I believe it's an easy way to get rid of some bureaucracy and because I have the impression there might be consensus on that. Is that so? Cheers.
