I think that he really wants to say: it is hard to get a (first) package into debian. That is not a problem which is solved by becoming a DM. I have never faced problems finding sponsors for updates of my package, and I don't have the impression that it are those packages which don't find a sponsor. Apart from that: I haven't applied for DM yet because I still found it useful that someone reviews my package prior to uploading. Although one can also argue that that is partly the role of 'unstable'. Johan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
