Hi Nilesh, Yeah, I completely agree. I was thinking between applying for a DM+ for porterboxes and then DD non-up but having to do them multiple times and then applying for an uploading again soon after that felt redundant to me so I decided to choose the DD uploading route as I had already been a maintainer before. I would be happy to let the timeline for the application lapse while I submit more substantial code contributions to the Debian project before reapplying for the DD uploading post directly.
