Correction: as DAMs we decided to change Daniel's status, from DD to DM.
The announcement can be found in the debian-private archives:
Date: Fri, 08 Mar 2013 19:36:40 +0100
Message-ID: <87r4jpoi13.fsf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
This paragraph from that message seems to me like be a reasonsable
summary of the rationale of the change:
A Debian Maintainer is a person who can manage, unsupervised, a
limited set of packages, but for each of those packages a Debian
Developer is a guarantor for. Trust between you and someone you work
closely with is much easier to earn, and helps to regain the trust
between you and the wider project.
