I have tried to avoid basing my platform directly on anything that would require existing delegates to make specific actions with respect to delegated areas (or, equivalently, that would imply the replacement of delegates if they don't agree).
I do make statements about general ways that I would like delegates, and other members of Debian teams, to behave, as well as mentioning some areas for possible new delegations, or expansions of existing ones. I give a few examples of things I'd like to see happen, as views rather than promises, in the "Specific ideas" subsection.
I have similarly tried to avoid including too much that would be nice but that isn't related to the DPL position or more generally to coordination of Debian. For example, I think it would be nice to have a DVCS containing up-to-date source for all Debian packages, but I can't really state that me becoming DPL would make it happen more quickly.
Looking through my platform:"Delegation and teams": in part constitutional powers, in part influence/persuasion, in part aspiration.
"External communications": delegation/recruitment."Coordination/mediation", "Internal communication", "Local communications", "Fundraising and spending", "Merging from the DebConf branch": in part directly related to DPL powers about delegations and money-handling; for other parts no special powers are required in principle, but these are much more likely to be successful with the DPL's voice behind them and backed up by delegations.
