It could just be "you should have a visible and significant track record
of work inside the project".

It's probably time to corrent the "DM for 6 months" thing, since it
doesn't make sense for people who work in teams like the Perl team where
it's trivial to find sponsors. I propose:

  "Before applying as packaging DD, unless you usually do your work
  inside a team you should have been a DM for about six months."

I would just say "except non-uploading Developers": "to whom this
permission is not granted" sounds redundant and mean to me.
