Can you blame him? I've been an AM for 2 years, FD member for a couple months, and even organized an NM BOF at Debconf4 in which James and tbm attended, and I still barely have any idea what a DAM does. I know from this mail: http://lists.debian.org/debian-newmaint/2004/02/msg00010.html that the DAM reads reports (and James prefers to read them on dead trees). I know from your Bits from the DAM post here: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2005/02/msg00003.html that you have some special GPG signature requirements and that the applicant needs to have some "traceable actions" in Debian (note that FD currently will not even assign an AM if the applicant has no traceable actions). >From the NM BOF, I got the impression that James was a lot more interested in an applicant's personality and trustworthiness than about technical knowledge. Also, I got the impression that an applicant had to be a real bastard/troublemaker to get rejected, and that he's a lot more lenient than I previously believed. In terms of the DAM's involvement in NM, that's about the extent of my knowledge. To be honest, I always thought the DAM was synonymous with account/LDAP/keyring admin, but apparently that's not the case. A "DAM" is a, ummm, FD member who can reject applicants. -- Society is never going to make any progress until we all learn to pretend to like each other. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
