Oh, "six months as a package maintainer" certainly sounds like a good requirement in that spirit to me. And if the applicant is interested, becoming a DM can be a way to make those six months less painful. Given two otherwise equal candidates, one who had been a DM and another who had been a maintainer with sponsor for six months, I don't think that information makes the DM seem more qualified. Luckily the NM frontdesk tends to be reasonable about this in practice, as you've mentioned.
