Adrian probably refers to: http://lists.debian.org/debian-newmaint/2010/02/msg00058.html At the time the problem I raised was that the advocacy message covered (valuable) activity outside Debian, but I'd rather see existing activity *inside* Debian. Two well maintained packages are in principle ok for becoming DD, but out of common sense I will have to ask how come if one maintains a couple of packages and they are considered ready for unsupervised uploads, they haven't been advocated for DM yet. Nothing that can't be solved by giving a good reason in the advocacy message of why one thinks DM is not relevant. Keeping in mind that DM is a very good way to acquire experience in Debian and afterwards literally fly through NM, so it's generally a good idea to have people be DM for a while before entering NM. Note that one can even be advocated for DD with no packages at all, as long as the advocate provides a really really really sound reason for it. IOW, common sense works more than you'd expect.
