Well, not becoming DPL means I'd have less time to spend on Debian
things than if elected, so, technically, not becoming DPL would severely
decrease the chance that I'd work on any of the ideas on your list.

But, if we take a hypotethical scenario where I'd have all the time in
the world, elected or not - becoming a DPL would not increase the chance
of me working on any of the ideas, either.

That is to say, being DPL has nothing to do with what I find important,
and what I'd like to work on, and work towards. There are some very good
ideas on your list, that I find important to push further along (just to
name a few: better communication [all kinds of it]; touchscreen-only and
mobile support in d-i; d-i being able to highlight platform specific
freedom issues; Supersedes; etc), but this is only tied to how much time
I have, not to the DPL position itself.

It's a mere coincidence that if elected, I'll have more time I can
dedicate to Debian and DPL duties. It's the availability of time that
increases the chance, not the position.
