The Debian Maintainers General Resolution
I voted in favour. People arguing that we should "just fix the NM process instead" are missing the whole point: even if its problems could be fixed soon (but they will not be, since many smart people have been working on it in the last few years and have not found a magic solution yet) I do not believe that becoming a Debian Developer should be easy.
OTOH I like the idea of allowing full Developers to delegate co-maintenance of one of their packages like they currently do with sponsorships but without requiring them to rebuild the packages, which can become very time-consuming.
