I think I wasn't too clear. Many of the DDs are not too fond of the idea of having to deal with lesser DDs or contributors. Not having the status of DD _because_ I didn't had a package in Debian was reason enough to discard my project[1]. So I was pointing out that for many DD=package maintainer and not doing that means you are a lesser human being. > On a side note, this thread has become kinda offtopic here :) > Indeed it became.
