It really isn't *hard*, though. That's the thing. If you've worked with Debian for a while and read all the documentation, it's not at all difficult to become a Debian developer and there are a lot of people available to help. It's *time consuming*, for both the applicant and the AM (and the DAM). That's what people complain about. It can take most of a year, or even more. But that's not time spent constantly working; most of that time is spent waiting in various queues for someone to have free time. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
