The date is now correctly set, but the content is still lagging behind, given that the intention seemingly is to list __Debian Maintainers__. Admitting that I am waiting to see my own name appear there, I have been searching in different resources to locate any changes. It was only by visiting http://ftp-master.debian.org/dm-uploaders.html that I could beyond any doubt register that I with all probability could carry the badge DM. Having seen the pending bug report disappear from "debian-maintainers" some two months ago, never leading anywhere, it was only by locating http://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2010/10/msg00055.html this morning that I know for sure when a registration could have been possible. Since then a month and a half have gone, still neither the companions at that time, nor the more resent DM of November are visible at http://nm.debian.org/dm_list.html I maintain my original view point that this latter page is severely out of date. Likewise, I still think that accepted DM:s deserve to be mentioned there. Being incognito or unofficial to the general public gives an inferior impression. For some time now I have been living with the serious thought lapse, that the weekly "NM Report for Week Ending ..." at "debian-newmaint" would include also acceptance reports of new Debian Maintainers, but I have now been proven wrong in this naive belief.
