The concept of "Debian Maintainers" is explained at
http://wiki.debian.org/Maintainers

(And yes, all this terms are confusing: to become DD you have to go
through the "New Maintainer" process, you can just be a package
maintainer or a "Debian Maintainer", if you become a DD you get a
mail titled "New maintainer ..." and so on.)

Cheers,
