As someone who supports that policy (in the general case), can you elaborate on this? Why do you think it is such a bad thing? Note that, first, the NM frontdesk has always been willing to fast-track someone who is "obviously" skilled (with "obviously" being vague on purpose) and, second, that the DM step is not required for emeritus developers returning to Debian. -- Copyshops should do vouchers. So that next time some bureaucracy requires you to mail a form in triplicate, you can mail it just once, add a voucher, and save on postage. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-vote-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
