-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 For nm.debian.org, at 2026-09-04: I would like to aply to change my status in Debian to: Debian Developer, uploading.
I have been a Debian Maintainer for 4 years, maintaining packages in various languages, including: - - archlinux-keyring: data files only - - damo: Python - - distribution-gpg-keys: data files only - - distrobox: Bash - - libkdumpfile: C - - sugarjar: Ruby There have been cases - esp with distrobox and sugarjar - where my packages can't migrate because dependencies have serious bugs, and I feel like being a full Developer would help unblock in these situations (not having to co-ordinate with a DD, and as a last resort, being able to do an NMU - I hope not to have to use this often) One of my packages, libkdumpfile, have undergone a reasonably complex upgrade involving its Python bindings being split out into a separate standalone source package, so I'm familiar with the process of using experimental as well. Last but not least, I have been an experienced Fedora packager for over 20 years - I've used Debian and Ubuntu as well on and off over the years preceding becoming a DM and would increasingly like to commit to Debian for its democratic, non-corporate-backed structure. I recently wrote dbranch as a tool to both streamline the process of updating packages, and also getting them rebuilt in PPAs - I hope its --explain mode is helpful in maintaining familiarity with Debian processes, as it walks the user step by step through the whole process: https://michel-slm.name/posts/2026-06-22-introducing-dbranch/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEARYKAB0WIQRdzi5+nDsc/9M1wdeLIp0vfMwE8gUCapswXgAKCRCLIp0vfMwE 8nRjAQC2vwn+x/kOt0ns4oXxPVMvNunCrGj7HNQDtMr47c5EZgEAgQxvVqrX6R2V oH8Hz+0gcaVQLjb2IYqLqBN2VADK8go= =oiwr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Michel Lind (via nm.debian.org) For details and to comment, visit https://nm.debian.org/process/1572/ -- https://nm.debian.org/process/1572/
