That's my job, I'm pretty good at it, and I prefer that to packaging, while I'm able to package too (I already have a package of mine in Debian). I've found that in real life, packaging is the only way to *become* DD.
I've already contributed a lot to Debian, for years now (back around 2000), and would like to become a DD, but the work needed just to reach the Holy Grail is simply too much when you are already working a lot (especially on Debian bugreporting and patching). So, how can I apply for DDship while doing the things I'm best at? -- Jérôme Warnier FLOSS Consultant http://beeznest.net
