Dear Duncan, On 2001-06-24 you applied to become a Debian maintainer on the Debian New Maintainer website at http://nm.debian.org/ After 6 weeks of applying, all applications who have not yet been advocated are deleted.
Advocacy is where a current Debian maintainer believe you have made enough preparations for applying to a maintainer. It is generally reasonably easy to be advocated. For example if you are wanting to build packages for the Debian Project then you would probably want to build them and then get them uploaded by a sponsor (see http://www.internatif.org/bortzmeyer/debian/sponsor/ for more information) then your sponsor could be your advocate. If you are working on a porting or translation subproject, then someone there should be able to advocate you. This email is to inform you that your application has now been deleted from the New Maintainer database. You may re-apply any time when you believe that you are prepared for the new maintainer process. For more information about advocates, see http://www.debian.org/devel/join/nm-advocate - New Maintainer Committee
