Generally speaking, geographical proximity to the AM should not be the reason for delay at all. For much of the problems reported in this thread by applicants, as an AM, I frequently find that many applicants take an inordinately long time to respond to emails. Since most AMs deal with one or two applicants at any given time, the more time we spend processing each applicant, someone else stays in the line longer. Moral of the story for applicants: Keep your application ready before your AM contacts you; get your key signed, have package(s) ready for inspection, read the SC, DFSG & DMUP, browse the developer's reference, etc. Heck, maybe file or fix some bugs, write documentation, etc. It's amazing how quickly you will be processed, if you show demonstratable skills and knowledge of debian policies & procedures.
