Being a maintainer is about more than doing one small thing. Considering when and where they have done it is completely appropriate, and it is completely right and fair of me to take into account my own personal experience and background context about these types of events.

How about instead of accusing me of being "discriminatory" and judging without information, you provide us with more information? You haven't mentioned who these people are in any amount of detail, all you said is that they are some students attending an event run by you - ironically painting a large number of people with the same color, yourself!

Someone who relish > authority and elitism has to do the extra work. Get your head out of your own ass, and stop acting like you're a victim here. You keep talking about the Debian "philosophy and spirit"; spamming 10 people into a group with requests like "I want to package, give me access" is NOT that. This does not help anyone trust anyone. Being cautious about these types of actions, is not authority or elitism.
