It's already possible, though not it's not very known nor easy for a translator to become a DD AFAIK. > For the rest of your answer, I must admit I remain in the unclear about > what you think, Luk: the questions you raise are certainly questions > that should be raised in this discussion, but do you have answers or > opinions on them, even if preliminary?

Or something else? *The* current process is not very obvious to me as there is the DM process for limited upload rights and the NM process to become a DD (access to machines, upload rights, voting rights, some extra benefits like the email address). I think it's wrong to make totally separate processes with gross hacks in core tools of our infrastructure to support multiple types of membership. So I do think that the questions I posed are to be answered first before rethinking details in the processes: there first needs to be a global picture. I do think that the current DD and DM statuses are not the only types of membership there should be or not necessarily in its current form.
