In my experience the easiest way to find out when a certain person
became a DD is to look at the debian-keyring changelog. I have written
a script which parses this information for my research. It's online at
http://gaudenz.durcheinandertal.ch/thesis/. It's in the scripts
tarball on this site. The script you are looking for is
debian_keyring.py.
The script is probably not directly useable because it feeds the data
into an SQL database, but might serve as a starting point and you
could reuse the changelog parser.
