FWIW, a more relevant number is the number of packages in the archive "maintained by DMs," see [1] for the actual number and a more precise definition. No matter whether DMs are "transient" or not, all those packages are packages that currently have a lower barrier for day-to-day maintenance activities by interested people than they would have without DM. (No judgement implied in this sentence, just another, IMHO more relevant, data point.) Cheers.
