I absolutly disagree. Every Debian contributor doing work we depend on for the continued activity of Debian should be a DD. We have nearly the same number of registered developers than at woody time however we have expanded operation by about 250%. We need more developers to better spread the load. We already have procedure to disable inactive developers account and they have been quite sufficient so far. Now I am quite concerned that I would never had become a DD if the process at the time has been the same as now, and it would not be by lack of patience on my part. I find that ethically difficult to bear. Oh, be assured I have tons of gratitude for the people running the NM process at the time I applied.
