Yes, at the moment all Debian developers have the same privileges (uploading packages, voting[1]). There have been discussions about this, but the conclusions so far were that we don't want a class system. (Having said this, packaging skills are tested for porters as well. Just in a slightly different way.) [1] plus some more if you are DPL or a delegate -- Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED]
