I would like to understand how the DAM queue is processed. I was 5 from the bottom last week. 5 people were just processed and I'm still 2 back in the queue? I can see that two people who passed FD *MUCH* later than I did, one was 2005-10-25, the other was 2005-09-18, mine was 2005-03-22 just passed DAM approval ahead of me, why/how?
I don't want a flame war, but this is extremely frustrating. I had/have no issues with the NM process until I hit DAM queue. This is probably because I simply don't understand how the process works, please explain it. From the NM's perspective I have done everything you (Debian) has ask of me. I have passed the tests, I am an active contributor to the project. The next step is an arbitrary length weight until Ganneff has time to process applicants in the DAM queue. I had thought it was a queue, and as Ganneff had time he would process applicants pretty much in order. However, I can clearly see that someone received special/preferential treatment. In this case, I don't understand how people were able to jump ahead in the queue. If this is how the process is suppose to work, I'll just shut up and keep waiting. BTW: I often hear the argument that you don't need to be a DD to contribute to the project. While this is true, I have found that not being a DD can really hurt. For example, I received a FTBFS bug on one of my packages on an architecture that I do not have access to. I'm not allowed to use the Debian infrastructure, so... I have to find someone else to work on my bugs. Thanks, Troy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
