If, like me, the main thing you want to do is maintain packages, it's harder to do that as a NM. It's not impossible by any stretch and I've been doing it for a while, but it does require depending on someone else and asking them to do a fair bit of work on your behalf. And some things, like QA NMUs, aren't really great things to do as an NM, I think. Certainly I've been bounded more by my available free time than by not being able to upload directly, but I think I'll do about 150% as much work once I'm a full DD. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
