-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 I've worked together with Federico Molara for several months now, as he adopts one by one some packages that I put up RFAs for - libdrpm, mbuffer, microsocks, zchunk, etc.
His work has been excellent - there were only two times when I had some comments about his changes. In one of the cases he pointed out some context that I had missed, and in the other he understood and accepted the reasons why things are the way they are. For a couple of packages he did not hesitate to contact the upstream maintainers and coordinate the inclusion of some additional patches there. Federico makes sure that his packages pass as many static checks as possible, that their copyright and licensing information is up to date and complete, and that as many checks as possible are also run as autopkgtests. His understanding of the Debian processes and the free software ideas underlying them is excellent. And, last but most definitely not least, communicating with him has always been very easy - he is polite, understanding (which is very helpful when dealing with people like me who sometimes put things off), and his writing is concise and complete. My impression from working with Federico is that he will be a great Debian Developer very soon (I think as soon as he himself gathers up the courage to apply), and I heartily recommend him for Debian Maintainer status right now. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEELuenpRf8EkzxFcNUZR7vsCUn3xMFAmrJ/xsACgkQZR7vsCUn 3xMeeA/+MHzLSfEPAC/k/8AszFvjW9HJ/JQnz/2yUHcUgyQ4rIAFkrdD06Sa7SmQ CJcLiv7yEXa7T9gLV7wKIA8F9s3GPqNWNfUmRFbqr7z7vpvYTVAihvKczruDU2Dw MjZi4lD6nj8481KCpFRVeTVohIouMpmYeMDtpML9CnZCuNFzKE43Z1GySlrLeyZk 5cdFTjqihHkOoKz/L3PsqoaJp9LQVl5y3VgdhOkUkpdomg1TXPGlPC8YzxZ0Mqo1 CGlMfpu/G8SfjfrucvhyMG5qyVe+8iKGsB6Jb1aqqh/ls9+328prAJCJN/9UTPvt 9PCBTU8TpEpMSV6oXKMmc+Luu93Ch73vOwxy7mINpjP6bNGqj0tnDchf5DjFZPop 3W2zGstkFflXKKnagmTAwueM7fHuFEhOa3hpIriq9kR5O5S3wwQ/tkF1IKF6J9WC zHkCNfI4GhdWpqF0JMPgZwWad6jwoI+ZYnUKhAJP6YOYwrlrD9zc8mJOD3gFszed RmE710DV4QQSBtt03fSF0CYQIpuzkd8rXYYgTnu1jflxb3tZhM/AeiBsmKBmKTRh fbfLua+ewn+G9ZPu/EpHbMq0BSBPTc+kXpZ0JkkGqDk5BnU6RPtRaMr00twACBK7 olixibB/qvAcaGG6esGw7jidYgBwIqvmfrF05SfbaUrd2Slr300= =+VTf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Peter Pentchev (via nm.debian.org) For details and to comment, visit https://nm.debian.org/process/1585/ -- https://nm.debian.org/process/1585/
