I did not see a single MR from all the people that requested to join the team in recent times (and i'm subscribed to MR notifications for both DPMT and PAPT), and i do know that you cannot submit an MR for new packages. Almost all those introductory mails mentioned "I want to maintain this new package *AND* [emphasis added] help with general maintenance" but those maintenance contributions never really came (neither before or after membership was granted, at least not at the level a person that cares so much would lead to expect). If they really want to contribute they can always submit MRs or patches to the bts, and/or prepare a NEW package in a temporary location if access is still not granted; but that didnt really happen. We dont really have a good process to accept new contributions (it mostly boils down to single individuals to review, merge, upload), but we also dont really that many to begin with. Geert, I personally find your approach towards the current members/admins pushy, so speaking exclusively for myself l I would suggest you to be mindful that, while I may believe you're trying to be helpful, you may come across differently than how you intended.
