Certainly. This concerns me as well. To me it looks like no applicants have been approved since early March this year. That is almost 10 months! Can this really be? <http://www.debian.org/intro/organization> and <http://www.debian.org/devel/join/newmaint> lists Troup and Schulze as DAMs. Is this info still accurate/up-to-date? I realize this may be a touchy subject, but here goes... Both are very hard-working DDs doing lots of important stuff for the project in many ways, and as such it is my personal opinion/estimate that 1 or 2 more (less burdened) DAMs could really improve the current situation. And I'm not here to discredit the DAMs. Not at all. In fact I look up to a DD like Joey Schulze - whom I've had the pleasure of meeting in person - he does so much more for Debian than I will ever be able to do, but I still believe the current DAM situation is sub optimal. I realize this is a /big/ trust issue since we are talking account creation, but still, I'm sure our DPL can find someone in who he fully trusts a DAM role to cooperate with the two existing DAMs. Best regards, -- Frederik Dannemare | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=Frederik+Dannemare http://frederik.dannemare.net | http://www.linuxworlddomination.dk
