I don't think the confusion is that bad with Developers. Maintainers that are not Debian Maintainers is an unfortunate misnomer, ack. For Contributors, the discussion period is open :) > I'm thinking...

Something along the > following lines, and bear with me with the ugly namings: The equation does not hold. DM is much less than DD - no new binaries, and the entry barrier is way lower. There is no P&P or T&S for DMs. > Current name New name > Debian Developer Debian Full Member > Debian Maintainer Debian Restricted Package Uploader > (none) Debian Package Uploader > Debian Contributor Debian Nontechnical Member The names you propose sound very technical. I would prefer if we go for something nice. (I'm pretty sure that most of us want to keep the "Developer" title.) Christoph -- [email protected] | http://www.df7cb.de/
