1) Re: Rejected by not applying first to DM That's not the reason that they gave here (in which they do not mention that I was removed, though can be deduced, that's why I went to find about the status of my application to DD): http://lists.debian.org/debian-newmaint/2010/07/msg00003.html reasons that I refuted in the subsequent message in the thread (that neither Christoph nor anybody else from FrontDesk replied, or explained in any manner, publicly or privately): http://lists.debian.org/debian-newmaint/2010/07/msg00004.html and that occurring *after* I had abided their (quoting Christoph) "'DM before NM' is a rule we have been inofficially enforcing for some time now and which will be officialised soon", accepted the counsel and had applied to DM: http://lists.debian.org/debian-newmaint/2010/07/msg00000.html My application for DM was "1 Jul 2010 03:11:46 +0200", the advocation message for DM at "01 Jul 2010 18:33:01 +0200", the deletion at some point the day after at "2 Jul 2010 10:23:37 +0200". So wouldn't the application to DD should be put on hold, at most, after I accepted the counsel? Isn't the requirement of DM fulfilled anyway by the active co-maintenance of OpenSceneGraph that I'm doing since the end of last year, even if I was not doing it properly putting myself in the Uploaders field, etc? If Front Desk people don't think that I'm a good candidate because I've been arguing with them, doing the finger-pointing that they say, etc, shouldn't they explain themselves more clearly and refute/prove it (maybe appointing someone external but maintaining things private, if they think that my supposed finger-pointing is harmful to be made public)? 2) Re: notifications Shouldn't the applicant receive a similar automated message when being dropped/rejected as the one when somebody is applying, or receive advocation (quoted below)? Or at least appear in the weekly NM report or somewhere that I was rejected for this and that? Application confirmation: "Thank you for your interest in becoming a Debian Developer. Your name and email address has been entered into the new maintainer database at https://nm.debian.org/" Advocation confirmation: "Thanks for your recommendation of: Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo <manuel.montez...@gmail.com> This applicant will hopefully be assigned an Application Manager soon." I received neither automatic messages nor official explanations for rejection, other than the generic message of the 1st link in this message. Cheers. -- Manuel A.
