The FD's responsibility, as a 'New Maintainer Front Desk', is to ensure that the new maintainer process runs smoothly, and to take a bit of the grunt work off of the DAM. If stuff passes front desk, it's assumed that it'll pass DAM too, unless FD fucked up. However, the final decision of who gets to be a DD and who doesn't is not with FD; instead, that decision lies with the DAM. They have to make up their own mind. -- The biometric identification system at the gates of the CIA headquarters works because there's a guard with a large gun making sure no one is trying to fool the system. http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2009/01/biometrics.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
