Membership structures in Debian and Ubuntu

I have no opinion as to what should or should not be required. It is entirely inappropriate for me to comment on whether the procedure is adequate or not...especially when I don't believe I have a clear picture of how it is meant to work.

I was simply asking for the...canonical...documented reference that lists any requirements expected of nominees because what I could find on the wiki isn't particularly clear on the matter and I didn't want to make an assumption as to what is required. If a mailinglist post is the reference of merit.. so be it.
