I understand that some new maintainers on the NM queue become discouraged, because they sit there on the NM queue for a long time, while nothing visible is happening. But, I think that the NM queue is not a problem for participating in the Debian project. In fact, I am amazed by how quickly I became the maintainer of a few packages. Maybe I'm just lucky. My request for sponsorship got picked up quite quickly, and now my sponsor uploads my updates always within a few days. I would not try to increase the speed of the NM queue with time limits. The speed of the NM queue should be what the project needs. A faster NM queue would attract many more new applicants. And I guess that the number of DD's must not grow too fast either.
