During the 1995-1997 period Debian Developers were vetted by Simon
Shapiro and me.
At that time we hosted the Debian core infrastructure at our ISP.
If people participated on the lists and seemed trustworthy, we usually
had several phone calls with the prospects
and then created the required accounts on our Debian servers.
During this period Debian grew from about 60 to 250 developers.
Later the services got de-centralized and distributed over several
locations.
Cheers
Mike
