Another question Patrick, Real example: More then year ago I applied to become Debian developer. After some time I got answer that rule has change and I need to maintain at least to packages and I should wait for 1 year. My question is: Why should I come after 1 year again? I continue to maintain my 2 packages, I do not try any more to become debian developer and I want to become maintainer just not to ask always someone else to upload packages for me. I do not have too much time, and since process takes long time, I will may be decide to rather disturb always someone else to upload the latest version of my packages rather then to answer another question I got during my application processing. It is not optimal, but "I do not like processes" :)
