Hello,

I have a few questions, as I'm interested becoming a DD too. :)
(especially interested in audio-video applications and libraries)

I read in the wiki that one should be DM for 6 months before applying
to be a DD.
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMaintainer
That rule might be loose sometimes, thouh, I guess.

Also, is it difficult to change one's alioth username? Maybe once we
are no longer *-guest?
Does the "-guest" suffix disappear when we become either DM or DD?

I guess I should apply to be a DM too.

Later,
