I beg to differ.

Actually, yes. The seconds process is meant to be part of the
infrastructure of something vital to Debian's working, the policy
documents. The purpose of seconds is to prevent frivoulous proposals
from cluttering up the channel -- and since this list is open to all
comers, I would feel more comfortable knowing that the proposers,
seconds, and voters were individuals who had already made the
commitment to be developers. After all, this additional 20hours/weeks
ought to be good for _some_ privileges ;-)
After all, if the issue is that worthy of inclusion, it should
not be that hard to convince a developer to second it, right? After
all, the rest of the members of the list can already participate in
the discussion fully, anyway.
