I only remember a core-dev application in the very recent past from a kubuntu-dev member where the voting was pretty tight (and got deferred until the absent DMB member voted per mail). It was hard for me to decide how I vote on this. It wasn't about the skills nor that the person worked mostly on KDE packages but the rationale for the core-dev application which was in my opinion for the wrong reasons. He applied for core-dev to get upload permissions for some "core" KDE packages which weren't part of the kubuntu package set at that time. And I preferred to fix this short-comings instead of working around it. With a different (better) rationale for the core-dev application, I'd have vote +1 but with this rationale I only vote +0. Some other DMB members also preferred to fix it instead of working around the problem.
