I'm a MOTU who often works with and endorses new MOTUs, so I lurk in many DMB meetings. I can't say I see Canonical employees being treated particularly differently. The cases where I've seen deferrals were usually lacking "sustained and significant contributions" I have seen narrower experience (they're doing uploads as part of a focussed day job, this is to be expected), and all uploads sponsored by one or two team mates. This obviously limits the pool of potential endorsers. Is that maybe part of the problem here? (if there is one) We (MOTU) generally try to encourage people to work on a wide range of activities, and with multiple sponsors. When it comes to application time, there are a fair number of people that the applicant can turn to for endorsements.
