While I can agree that there are too few AMs, the whole process itself seems pretty bureaucratic with room for improvement. Once you've completed the AM stage, this still has to happen: - AM checks application. - Front Desk checks application. - DAM checks application. - DAM creates account. (Source: nm.debian.org) So, once the AM, who has done a thorough review of the candidate, then you still need to pass three steps. Why? Once you've reached the AM-approved stage, you've already got: - a good review by an existing developer (advocate) - an assurance from a person very experienced with Debian and with handling new developers - a proof of identity Well, I could understand that it's desired to have one last check by a third person at the end of the whole process. But why do the FD and DAM have to check separately? And why is approval by DAM not equal to account creation? It seems to me that the account creation step could be fully automated: checking the box "approved by DAM" could trigger an insert into the LDAP database thereby creating the account.
