Im not suggesting its ok that people remain in the queue for 6 months, fixing NM is a different problem. If they havent been rejected in 6 months then they must be a borderline case, if we give them some more rights then it could help the DAM to make a decision. But as it requires a vote its a mute point. According to http://www.debian.org/vote/ the last non-election vote that completed was in June 1999, almost 4 years ago. And there has only ever been 4 items voted on, 1 on the constitution, and 3 about the logo. When is the new voting scheme going to adopted ? Glenn
