I've sponsored a lot of Corsac uploads as well, and I've worked with him and Simon co-maintaining Xfce packages for a while. My experience working with Corsac has been pretty similar to what Pierre Habouzit said about Fathi: the number of spotted problems and suggestions about his work decreased with time, and now I'm just a proxy between himself and the archive. I always check his changes but I almost never find issues. That's time consuming for me and frustrating for Corsac. > In any case, Yves-Alexis deserves to be pushed through NM or get his key > in this DM keyring whichever comes first. He deserves to be a DD. $ find desktop/trunk -name changelog|xargs grep -- "-- Yves-Alexis"| wc -l 158 $ find goodies/ -name changelog|xargs grep -- "-- Yves-Alexis"| wc -l 126 And it's not just quantity. It's quantity *and* quality. Now, if it takes more that one year and five months for people like Corsac to become DDs, we really do have a problem with the NM process. However, the DM proposal seems to lessen these problems allowing Corsac (and others in his very situation) to *at least* upload packages, and I can only second that. ciao, ema
