Just a few thoughts. Please note that I'm still undecided whether I like your idea or not. My first thought: do we really need this new class of contributors? I mean how many people do you currently know fitting in this category (don't like to become DD just maintainers). I guess there will be some, but I think the amount of people should be high enough to legitimate such a big change in our infrastructure. My second thought: Should we really allow anonymous people to upload packages? Shouldn't they at least prove that they are who they claim to be (via gpg-key singed by an existing DD)? Who is responsible if a maintainer uploads malware, the one who recommended him? Can we really expect those DDs to take full responsibility if they aren't forced to check every package like they currently have to do when sponsoring? What is our current NM-process for? Especially all those tests you have to go through. Is it just for the right to vote and the access to our machines? Again, those are just a few questions which came to my mind after I read your proposal, it does not mean that I'm against it. Oh, and will there be a vote about this issue or is it still in the discussion-phase or is it already decided?
