But it is impossible to check everyone who ever passed a NM-test on a regular basis. You see that it is already a *big* job to check new applicants which shouldn't be more then eventual 100 per month, how should that be if you wanted to check 1000 developers on a regular basis? So all you *can* do is check it when they apply to become a developer. > that everybody should be checked, especially the old developers which > didn't be check so paranoid in the past. I got the point, but you cannot argue against a good practice in the current by mistakes made in the past. I agree that it might be good to checkout who were checked more loosely and check if this maintainer is still active, if his contributions are of a good quality, etc. But I think that this will not make things better, so it is eventually pointless, while you can avoid a lot by checking new applicants proper. > I hope you see the absurdity in this procedure...
