Eliminating the (hypothetical!) useless ones would be beneficial, yes,
since (in the hypothetical scenario we are discussing) the AM is just
wasting the applicant's time.

Hmm, I am not sure that that is true. According to an AM I know, prior
work in Debian doesn't count at all because the FD and DAM don't have
time to review that work. On the other hand I have read some AM reports
where prior work weighed very heavily indeed. In one report the
applicant didn't even have to answer T&S questions because he had made
some packages that looked good to the AM!
Hmm, do you think if I helped out with some packages I could get through
NM quickly too??
