Can you explain why you think that mere length of time with
Debian is a good metric for the ability to judge who should be a part
of Debian? Does the duration of stay also lend credence to the DD's
opinion of the quality of fellow DDs? Do you think that we could
leverage this avility, gained by tenure, in other ways?
