I don't want to be a DD because I have no interest in being involved in the political side of Debian. I want to be able to upload packages because I think that (in a small number of cases) I'm more qualified to maintain them than anyone else. Sure, "Don't quit Debian then" is a valid response (though I'm perhaps old-fashioned in terms of thinking that as a full member of an organisation I have a duty to participate in its democratic process, which I'm not enthusiastic about) as is "Just get someone to sponsor stuff" (which is a hassle and means I tend to upload less often). So DM status would make life easier for me and arguably improve the quality of Debian to a certain extent. On the other hand, I can understand a reluctance to add yet another catagory of contributors to Debian just to make me happy. -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
