DudeS, there is already _4_ keyrings. [If you don't belive me, have a look at /usr/share/doc/debian-keyring/README.gz ;] We are speaking about adding a 5th keyring to debian, for example for the NM, or more generally for people not in the main keyring for a reason, but which key may have a place on Debian for some reason. Of course I was not asking to go in the main keyring without going through the NM process, and being allowed to vote, upload packages, log on servers... > Maybe there's an argument for other classes of voting project member > other than just developer (typically package maintainer) such as a > translator or documentor.

I'm the kind of guy who forgets always that d-d is for developers, and that all members have to be (said) developer, but that d-d is not for the dicussion about the project as a whole... Sorry. Thanks for your time, Mt. -- The "US department of defense" should be renamed the "US department of attack".
