While I don't know if this kind of wait is normal, it is not exclusively the case. I was processed recently and within a short amount of time. http://nm.debian.org/nmstatus.php DAM approval took a month after my AM approved me. As far as I know, I wasn't "fast tracked" or anything, I did every part of the process. I had not had any packages sponsored prior to my application (I had maintained a public APT archive however), and was marginally (at best) active on -devel and -legal. So, it might take people 3 years, but YMMV. (n.b. This is not a defense of the NM process, nor a statement saying something is horribly broken. I don't know enough about it to comment in general. However, that was my experience in it.) -- Joe Wreschnig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
