At one time or another, I've sponsored uploads of several of Jan-Pascal's packages - with particular attention to Lucene2, which is going to become a very important package in Debian. Take a look at Lucene's popularity contest stats - all those users are eventually going to migrate over to the Lucene2 library. http://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=lucene Jan-Pascal has been fastidious in packaging, persistent, and very easy to work with. Some of the packages he works with are not easy - Lucene is in Java (not a trivial platform to package for in Debian), it has a ton of unit tests, boat loads of dependencies, lots of contrib programs. There's a lot of work to package this well, and I'm very impressed with the results. Jan-Pascal is quite engaged and has plenty of energy to contribute to the Project. This is not a person who takes a week to reply to a random email. And he doesn't sit around waiting for bug - he's the person that is moving a fair number of Java code from contrib to main. Based on reviews of the packages I've sponsored, I'm confident that Jan-Pascal does quality work, has packaging skill and experience exceeding many Developers, and that he is already a significant asset to the organization. I fully support his progression to Maintainer and if I was the overlord of Debian he'd also be made a Developer on the spot. > Hi! > > I would like to become a Debian Maintainer. > > I'm maintaining, within the pkg-java team, the lucene2, easymock, > commons-csv and solr packages. > > I've read and I agree to the Debian Social Contract, the Debian Free > Software Guidelines and the Debian Machine Usage Policies. > > I'm looking forward to participating in the Debian project in this new role. > > Regards, > > Jan-Pascal -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.5.8+ <http://mailcrypt.sourceforge.net/> iD8DBQFIty88azfo3TSzaFYRAu6LAJ4wbd8Qjyh1TiPu0fIyBvXKb0AyrACgrb/C bFZZZ74aPMf51meou13+AjU= =Ks/6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
