You are right and correct to point out that my platform does not spell out or identify specific markers for success. I was hesitant to include them; whilst it might appear hypocritical to suggest that such markers are useful and then not list any (!) I think it would have have been (and remains) premature to try and formulate them without doing more research and, moreover, consulting the project at large, at least to some degree. The goals of the DPL should probably, be somewhat aligned with the project! (For example, it would be too early to define success/failure for "Debian outreachy" given that the stakeholders/budget/etc. is unclear and there are many people who yet to express their valuable thoughts on such a programme.)
