I think the NM team would appreciate it if you could put together a team of volunteers who are willing to sponsor NMs. You could send e-mail to all those NMs who have not been assigned an AM yet (a listing is available at http://nm.debian.org/nmlist.php) and offer to sponsor them. This would ensure good applicants and would make the job of the AM easier. If it works, then the NM process could be changed so that everyone has to go through a sponsorship by the QA group before they can apply to become a maintainer. The problem is that this will only apply for applicants who want to join Debian as a packager. What about people who want to translate web pages or write documentation? If they don't have to go through the sponsorship, I could imagine that many people will say they will join Debian as a translator and once they are accpeted start uploadig packages. -- Martin Michlmayr tbm@cyrius.com
