Stefano's DPL platform is actually quite clear on the subject: We need to generalize the lessons learned from the DM process. We have a lot of potential valuable contributors out there. They just need better documentation about how to join. They simply demand something in exchange, to be proud of, that acknowledges their efforts. I do not have preconceptions on the different ways of achieving this (e.g. ACLs vs linearly increasing privileges), but we need to go in that direction. In doing so, we should also relax our implicit assumptions that only technical abilities matter in Debian. The "best operating system" is mainly, not only, made of software; it is also made of translations, graphics, musics, etc. I will push for more gradual and rewarding access paths to Debian. So if we vote for a GR that do not give a direction, it will be unsurprising that DAM and FD will implement a ‘gradual’ access to our facilities. But the important thing is that it will not be asked by the GR. After seeing the results of this choice, it will always be possible to change the procedure, especially if a later DPL is elected with a platform that goes more towards an equal access for all DDs. [Of course, I noticed that the GR is actually carefully worded to not decide anything, but only to invite. Still, I think that if it contains an invitation to not give upload access to DDs who do not maintain packages, it will be difficult ignore it.] I would love to vote for an amendement that invites DAM and FD to give a normal upload access to all DDs, but they are free to decline the invitation (and it is a good thing). I think that we need to compromise and move on, and I propose to do so by avoiding a wording that would make it difficult to change our choice on this subject later.
