+The final decision about account creation remains with DSA.

+
+DMs (i.e. people who have their key in the debian-maintainers keyring) or
+people already in the NM process may route their request through the
+<a href="mailto:nm@debian.org">NM-frontdesk</a>.
+
+The following information should be provided to frontdesk:
+
+* First/Middle/Last-name
+* Preferred username
+* GPG key fingerprint (if key is in the debian-maintainers keyring), or key if not.
+* email address
+* Signed agreement to abide by DMUP (or link to the mailinglist archive of debian-newmaint where that already was done)
+* Machine(s)/Architecture(s) to which access is needed
+* Short rationale as to //why// access is needed
+
+A member of frontdesk will verify the information for correctness, and create a
+ticket in RT (signed by the frontdesk member) asking DSA to add the new account
+to LDAP.
