Has the number of candidates been decreasing steadily, or has this happened out of the blue? If so, what has happened? Are there more responsibilities to this position, making it harder to do now than it was years ago? Is the interest in Debian dwindling? |

On the contrary, the project is growing in terms of contributors, packages and internal projects.
https://reproducible-builds.org/ mostly came out from Debian (see https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds )
Despite the name "leader", the role of DPL is close to an ambassador with no power to tell other people what to. The DPL appoints a handful of roles, then hand-on work is delegated and done by other people.
The drama on blogs and mailing lists is in no way representative of how most DDs feel about the project.
