1) Re: Rejected by not applying first to DM
That's not the reason that they gave here (in which they do not mention that
I was removed, though can be deduced, that's why I went to find about the
status of my application to DD):
http://lists.debian.org/debian-newmaint/2010/07/msg00003.html
reasons that I refuted in the subsequent message in the thread (that neither
Christoph nor anybody else from FrontDesk replied, or explained in any
manner, publicly or privately):
http://lists.debian.org/debian-newmaint/2010/07/msg00004.html
and that occurring *after* I had abided their (quoting Christoph) "'DM
before NM' is a rule we have been inofficially enforcing for some time now
and which will be officialised soon", accepted the counsel and had applied
to DM:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-newmaint/2010/07/msg00000.html
My application for DM was "1 Jul 2010 03:11:46 +0200", the advocation
message for DM at "01 Jul 2010 18:33:01 +0200", the deletion at some point
the day after at "2 Jul 2010 10:23:37 +0200". So wouldn't the application
to DD should be put on hold, at most, after I accepted the counsel?
Isn't the requirement of DM fulfilled anyway by the active co-maintenance of
OpenSceneGraph that I'm doing since the end of last year, even if I was not
doing it properly putting myself in the Uploaders field, etc?
If Front Desk people don't think that I'm a good candidate because I've been
arguing with them, doing the finger-pointing that they say, etc, shouldn't
they explain themselves more clearly and refute/prove it (maybe appointing
someone external but maintaining things private, if they think that my
supposed finger-pointing is harmful to be made public)?
2) Re: notifications
Shouldn't the applicant receive a similar automated message when being
dropped/rejected as the one when somebody is applying, or receive advocation
(quoted below)? Or at least appear in the weekly NM report or somewhere
that I was rejected for this and that?
Application confirmation:
"Thank you for your interest in becoming a Debian Developer. Your name
and email address has been entered into the new maintainer database
at https://nm.debian.org/";
Advocation confirmation:
"Thanks for your recommendation of:
Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo <manuel.montezelo@gmail.com>
This applicant will hopefully be assigned an Application Manager soon."
I received neither automatic messages nor official explanations for
rejection, other than the generic message of the 1st link in this message.
Cheers.
