You'll have to be so much more specific about what you need and why you
need an account to satisfy your needs.

Hello Joachim,

I think we have a small procedural issue here.

> This is my declaration of intent to become a Debian Maintainer.


Here you are stating that you want to apply for DM, but what you applied
for is a guest account on our development machines.

Also your advocate seems to have adovcated you for the guest account,
though the writing is obviously off as it feels like he mixed up the
guest account template with a maintainership advocacy

Can you please confirm what you want to apply as?

If your plan was for DM from the start, we _could_ convert the process
(although it would be a big hassle since we need to add a new keycheck
step to an existing process, that's not really supported by the
website), but it would be so much cleaner if you just closed this
process (there is "cancel" buttom in the "process" menu on top) and
start a new one, with a new correct advocacy and everything.


Thank you for applying!

I support Vasyl Gello 's request to become a
Debian Maintainer, with guest account.
I have worked with Vasyl Gello on kodi and all of its add-ons (as well
as a few related libraries for more than 2 years and I consider his as
having sufficient technical competence.

Over the years, I appreciated Vasyl's willingness to stick to the Debian
Project's values, as well as his adherence to our processes; he also
tried hard to collaborate with other member of the Project when the need
arises, and has done so with success.

Technically speaking I have very few comments to make, since he
demonstrated his abilities over time in maintaining kodi, a fairly
complex project to maintain.  I admit I've pretty much stopped
nitpicking on changes a long time ago!

I have personally worked with Vasyl Gello  (key

know Vasyl Gello can be trusted to have upload rights for their own
packages, right now.

For the past 2 years, I have worked with Vasyl Gello on kodi packaging.

For this past work, Vasyl Gello sent mails using the email address
vasek.ge...@gmail.com which is the one they're using on nm.debian.org,
and they signed their work (I'm talking git commits as well as signed
tarballs) using a GPG key with fingerprint
11C6 2C63 4CC6 1C07 74A7  EE12 2C51 41A1 5285 EC0A.

He also has done that very consistently, though I haven't seen many
gpg-signed mails, all his git commits and tags have been signed.

I've made sure that they are able to decrypt encrypted messages sent to this key
and that they're able to sign messages with the same key.

Due to the long-term interactions we had, I'm convinced that Vasyl Gello as they
present themselves on nm.debian.org is the rightful owner of both email
vasek.ge...@gmail.com and GPG key 11C6 2C63 4CC6 1C07 74A7  EE12 2C51 41A1 5285

Since Hugh became DM in 2021 he submitted a bunch of QA uploads and NMUs

Also, he has a proven track record of being fully aware of Debian's

I can only echo my own words on Hugh from my last DM advocacy, as over
the time my impression of him has only improved, and I fully believe he

Could I ask you to repost this advocacy on the nm website?  I see that
you did it as a comment on https://nm.debian.org/process/1095/advocate/
- however you should add a statement instead.  On that page there is a

that links to https://nm.debian.org/process/1095/advocate/statement/create/

Not just that :)

I see you opened https://nm.debian.org/process/917/ - but instead of
pushing your signed statements there (which would get forwarded to this
ML by the website) you sent the statement here.

Please fill in the required "Missing requirements" (in particular, this
email of yours would be the "Declaration of intent").


Also, I see that the GPG key you added to your profile can't be fetched.
Please make sure your key is available through keyserver.ubuntu.com, as
that's a prerequisite to do pretty much anything.  I trust that you know
the details of your gpg key and whether it has enough signatures on it,
or otherwise already have a plan to ask some DDs to endorse your key.

Well, if you have DDs that would advocate your DDs, we can totally do
this, but indeed from your words it sounds a weak motivation, and I'd
recommend to re-apply as DM.  However it would be great to hear from
your potential advocates first :)  - please point them to this thread.


To expand on my position:
From my _personal_ view, I'd say that you have been contributing long
enough, but at the same time you haven't interacted with a wide enough
"types" of things (i.e., no NMUs, no QA uploads, not in any team,
exposed to few packaging standards, ...); none of this is a blocker per
se, especially since we do have DDs that cares about few things, and
also we do not have any rule requiring any of those.  However, it does
leave *me* with a less-than-perfect impression of your knowledge.  Of
course, you or your advocates can refute me here! :)

I haven't looked at your key, but if it's old enough, and you used it
enough to establish some kind of consistency, that should be enough for
somebody you interacted with to endorse the key.

Thanks for applying.

However, I notice that whilst you have been contributing to those 3
packages for more than 2 years, you are not a DM.  Could I enquire as to
why you are explicitly applying for DD and not DM?  Nowadays is
considered unusual to apply for DD without being a DM, unless there is
either a quite strong applicant, or the applicant has specific plans
that require being a DD, or so.

Furthermore, I notice that your GPG key has no signatures: remember that
you'll need 2 for DD, but only one for DM (signatures or endorsements).

You are explicitly talking about "uploading your work", and also looking
at your DDPO (I didn't look any deeper) you don't seem to be active in
any other package (e.g. team uploads, QA uploads, NMUs, ..).

As such, I wonder why you are applying for DD instead of DM.
Your application also doesn't state any other kind of work besides
packaging, so I wonder if DD was really what you were planning to apply
for and why.

I see you only maintain lighttpd.  Why are you aiming for DD instead of
DM in your case?  And if, you are effectively aiming for DD, why does it
make sense for you to skip DM?
As for the usual disclaimer, being a DM is not prerequisite, but it's
best for us if there is a good reason to skip it.


Also, your key has no signatures, so you should get some, or key

For nm.debian.org, at 2020-11-09: I support Baptiste Beauplat
's request to become Debian Developer, uploading.

I have worked with Baptiste Beauplat mostly on mentors.debian.net, where
he basically rewrote the whole site to move from deprecated frameworks.
While on that, I had the pleasure to witness how he worked, both in the
sense of pure technical abilities and social skill.  In the process, I
saw him tackling several packages that needed a few tweaks for our work,
as well as digging deep into some intrinsic packaging quirks while
testing package handling failures; as such I have no qualms on backing
his Debian technical knowledge.

Besides the "infrastructure" work on mentors.d.n, I helped him get
acquainted with the processes used within the Project, and the workflows
needed while working with several teams.  As examples, I had him work on
updating several packages (be them QA uploads, NMUs, or new packages).
While doing that, he regularly met all my expectations on great quality
work and outstanding social behaviour.

I have personally worked with Baptiste Beauplat  (key
EB3091F834711EF432572B201EDBAA3C6926AF92) for more than 2 years, and I
know Baptiste Beauplat can be trusted to be a full member of Debian, and
have unsupervised, unrestricted upload rights, right now.

So it's clear to you, even as a DM you *cannot* upload to NEW.  Those
uploads still need to be sponsored by a DD.


If you ACK that as a misunderstanding I guess I can proceed with your

Mhh, sorry, I seem to have over-reacted.  We received a flood of

Indeed, you already have a guest account (since 2012), so that part is
irrelevant for you.

No need, it's alright where it is.

You just need to get some DD to advocate your application and you are
good.


Incidentally, I see you used to be a DM back in 2017, when your key was
removed because you have been inactive during the stretch cycle.
Note that since a while, DMs who haven't uploaded in a whole development
cycles are automatically disabled (like you have been).


If you'll need to renew your access to the porterboxes you'll need to
folllow up with DSA directly (we can point to the proper doc when you'll
need that).

Indeed... this seems to be a new thing, I'm not sure what's causing

This is a non-actionable request.  You are not explaining why you would
need a guest account.
You'd need to provide an actual reason, together with the architecture
you need it for.

You mention rhash, but that package had a last upload in July 2020 and
built fine everywhere, so I doubt you need porterbox access for that.

Keep in mind that porterbox access is granted on a need-to-have basis,
only for single architectures, and for a limited amount of time.

Unfortunately this is not an actionable request for us.  We'd need a
more specific list of architectures you need access to and the reason
for it.  Requests for "all archs" are not valid.

Also keep in mind that a guest account is automatically locked after 6
months (and then you'd need to request DSA to re-enable your account;
same if you need other architectures later).

Lisandro already tried, and judging by the logs that you also should

BadHeaderError at /process/808/advocate/statement/create/
Header values can't contain newlines (got

That's likely caused by some recent changes that we did to nm2 to comply
with some restrictions imposed by the latest django releases.
I haven't tracked down where the \n comes from.

I'm afraid this request is not actionable for us.

We need to specify a specific machine to request access to, with a

There are a few problems with your application:

 * Your GPG key doesn't have any signature at all (but we require 2 DD
   signatures for prospective DDs)
 * You are not a DM yet.

Thought the DM bit is not a requirement, it's nowadays at the very least
unusual for a non-DM to apply to become DD, and we at least would like
some kind of explenation as to way you wouldn't apply for DM first
(keeping in mind that it would still require at least 1 DD signature on
your GPG key…).

In fact, looking at your upload history, it feels like would it would
more useful to you as of now would be being a DM, rather than starting
the whole DD process.

honestly, I'm not sure it makes any sense at all to do even monthly
snapshot.  The goal of Debian is to be a releasable, stable
distribution, not to be the staging area for random snapshots.
It makes sense to do one or two rounds of uploads to check everything
builds everywhere, etc, but after that I don't personally see much value
to regularly push there stuff.  Stage all of 19.x once that's ready,
then move it all to unstable, done.

Just remember that changing that also means tweaking the debian/gbp.conf

I can't help out much, since I don't really use `gbp buildpackage`
myself.

But:
> > --git-component={cpluff-0-1-4,libdvdnav-6.1.0,libdvdread-6.1.1,webinterface-default}

I'm worried.
libdvdnav 6.1.0 is also in Debian, why is it being bundled here?
libdvdread is also in Debian, also with version 6.1.1
so is cpluff, though with an higher version 0.2.0
So, what is it with all these library bundled up?

https://sources.debian.org/src/kodi/2:18.7+dfsg1-1/debian/README.source/
doesn't really explain that, I can only think that back then the
libraries in the archive weren't suitable for use by kodi, but even if
they weren't I'd have expected to have them be made suitable...

I recommend you work toware removing those components instead of
figuring how to work with them.

That's not quite feasible due to how the components are handled by
dpkg-source.  There is no sure-fire way to know what are components from
within a source package, and you can't quite rely on pristine-tar being

Nice, this is very commandable.  In fact, it's very similar to the
reason I got into Debian back then (I wanted a better scribus :P).

I'm very confused about "Balint has no sponsoring rights".  Balint is a
DD and a member of the multimedi team, and as such he has all the rights
needed to sponsor packages.
Perhaps you mean that he no spare time?

Reading fully now (for the first time, sorry) your original mail in
-multimedia I read this from Balint:
2. I can help with upgrading Kodi to 19.x in unstable and with staging
it in experimental, but I can't commit myself to sponsoring uploads to
buster-backports. Please find someone who can help you with that.
Which means that he _can_ help you get all of your packages uploaded.
Though, probably, he is running low on time like many others.


For myself, I could handle a couple of RFSes, but the time I can
dedicate to Debian is even thinner than usual these months so I really
can't look after a whole stack of packages I know nothing about. :(
If you think you hit a wall in finding sponsors (or anything else,
really) for a particular package feel free to mail me privately as I'm
most likely to not pick up general requests myself.

I think that's the right path, yes!!

> I will close the request later on and fix remaining package todos :)

I think the only decent path forward for you is to slowly crunch through
the list of packages that make up Kodi, likely just working closely with
Balint (and/or others) to have everything uploaded to experimental.
When it comes the time to backport everything feel free to head to
debian-backports@lists.d.o: usually people there do reply when somebody
asks for directions on uploading to backports.  Either there or
debian-mentors@.  Uploading a backports is comparatively a much much
easier task than sponsoring to unstable/experimental, so that's actually
the easiest step of everything.

That's likely a good idea.  Could you please open a issue on

I reckon there should be wiki pages and things around that we could like

Jonathan also mentioned being a "Debian Maintainer", but IMHO you are
not quite elegible for that either, since you are not yet maintaining
anything, and usual DM rights are granted after several sponsored
uploads (where "several" is highly dependant on each case, but generally
*I* would expect at least a dozen _clean_ uploads).
https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=vasek.gello%40gmail.com
Even minechangelogs doesn't find anything from you at all, not even
mentioned in any changelog so far.


IMHO, your only way forward here is to:
 * obtain commit rights in the debian-multimedia group if you haven't
   (and really, if you haven't already asking for DM is way too early)
 * do whatever work you need to do there in the git repository
 * work out a sustainable workflow with a DD willing to help you, so
   that sponsoring dozens/hundreds packages at once won't drain both of
   you
I honestly thought the latest was already done when I read your DC+ga
application…
Because I expect that no matter your previous contributions elsewhere
outside of Debian, there will be something that your sponosr will find
while reviwing your first works.

> Should I close the DC+ application now?

I think so, yes.

> If you are interested, please join the discussion in debian-multimedia

Your first email from you was on May 2nd, to which I see no answer, a
couple of RFSes and ITPs.

You mentioned you are in touch with Balint, what path did he recommend?
(asking because he didn't follow up publicly in any of your mails I can
find in my archive).

people.debian.org is reserved for DDs, so even if you had an account you
wouldn't be able to use that sapce.

I reckon theoretically you could get access to the amd64 porterbox and
have your builds done there, but from your message it seems that you'd
actually want access to porterboxes for all architectures.  That's just
not the way porterbox are used: they are there for only test builds,
debugging architecture-specific failures or other similar situations.

Unfortunately we do not have such infrastracture in place to allow
contributors to build all their packages targetting something outside of
the archive, in a OBS-like fashion.

Perhaps consider making sure that you'll have some advocates _before_

I'd also try to contact tobi and elbrus to check if they consider you

I understand the recognition bit, but a guest account can be requested
only for specific reasons.
Usually those reasons are one of:
 * need to debug an architecture-specific bug (likely an FTBFS)
 * need to access a machine to do some specific work (example: buildd
   admin, listmaster, …)
The whole point of a guest account is to have access to a debian.org
machine, but there needs to be a necessity behind the request.

As a simple explenation: I need to provide DSA with specific machine
names that needs to whitelist your account… what would I even write
there, after reading your request? :)

Did you apply for the right thing here?  Your application text below looks
more like a DM application, while you don't mention things like FTBFS or
arch-specific issues that I'd expect from a dm_ga application.

If it's indeed wrong please close the process (there is a button on the

I haven't personally reviewed and sponsored enough packages from Sudip
to feel comfortable in formally advocating him, but I want to somewhat
recognize his application and support it.

I've been in touch with him for many month, helping out here and there
with this processes and odd QA uploads every so often.  It has been a
pleasure to work with him, and his work was most of the time
technically outstanding.  He also has a clear enough  view of most
Debian processes to go on with his NM.

You'll need to be more specific.  A guest account is not granted on such

Note that, as I noted I think multiple times on IRC, you don't need to
be a DD for this.
You already have a Debian account, you just need somebody from the
'lintian' LDAP group (which means, one of: cjwatson, rra, lamby, adsb,
nthykier) to open a RT ticket at DSA and ask to add you to the team,
and renew your account shadowExpire.

> Besides that, I also work on gocryptfs, wolfSSL and other packages. Thank you!

Due to this, guess I'll have the application proceed, but the AM step
usually takes a few months, so you may wish to have somebody do the
above nonetheless (CCing lamby, since you are mostly working with him,
afaik).
I also think that due to your work in Lintian you got to have more than
the average DD knowledge on actual packaging, even if you somewhat lack
in actual number of uploads under your name :)

Oh, I see what you mean.

Well, rest assured that that's not important for us.  What we should be
trusting is people who advocate you with the meaning of "I'm advocating
2861257317C7AEE4F880497EC3860AC59F574E3A" which is not really tied to
any mail address.  For what nm.d.o is concerned, feel free to set the

(It also doesn't really change anything at this point, even if you

We could do it (and since you already have a pending process for dd_u
we could just go straight with it), but it's quite some busywork,
especially for DSA that has to handle the LDAP details.

Furthermore, access to the stuff like the debeconf web server (and even
more, access to the db) needs to be requested directly to DSA from an
active member of the relevant group (I guess, anybody with
supplementaryGid=debconf-web would do here) mentioning an already
existing user.

All in all, I don't think you'd save much with this at this point,
rather than waiting ~20 days for the account, and then have stefanor
(nattie is not in debconf-web) rise the request to DSA to add you the

Could you at least detail what is important enough to rush the process
at this time?  I'd have found much more useful to do this kind of
request a couple of months ago.

Since you worked since 2013, you surely had an alioth account, so you
should be able to issue a certifacte using those credential right away,
in case you still had never issued a client cert from sso.debian.org.

Stewart Ferguson: Advocate

2019-03-22 Thread Mattia Rizzolo
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA512

For nm.debian.org, March 22nd, 2019:

I hereby support Stewart Ferguson 's request to become
Debian Maintainer.

I have worked with Stewart Ferguson on several Python packages for 6
months, and I deem him able to maintain his packages by himself.

My first interactions with Stewart showed him as being mostly clueless
about our community, but after giving him very little guidance he
quickly gathered his bearings, and actively started his contributions.
He appreciated my harsh remarks I made to his packages, and seek to do
better.  More importantly, he has been able to provide clear and
well-thought reasoning to his decisions, instead of just "appeasing
lintian".  In short, I see great potential for growth here.

Even in our communications, I appreciated the tone of his words and the
stance he would take while answering to me, and even if I haven't seen
him take part in any public discussion, I'm still positive about the
level of contributions he could bring forth.


I have personally worked with Stewart Ferguson  (key
12EA56E806E370882A198F71186CF99F98E75ABD) for half a year, and I know
Stewart Ferguson can be trusted to have upload rights for their own
packages, right now.

It seems to me that at the time you are maintaining only one package
(aegisub), and on that one package you only interacted in one upload,
doing very small changes.

I'm not convinced that that's enough to justify DM permissions; I'm not
talking about the "one package" thing (we have many DMs only for single
packages), but rather that you did only one upload.
And also, I couldn't spot your email address in my own email archive
prior to January 9th, i.e. just 2 months ago.  Tendentially, we try to
have people with upload rights be with us for a little longer.

Also this advocacy, it mostly talks about stuff that is not related to
Debian; although it definitely is useful to know that he is a
knowledgable Debian user, that doesn't really speak much of his
abilities as a package maintainer, nor any of his knowledge about the
Debian procedures.

I'd honestly prefer if he could be sponsored for a little longer, but I
accept disagreements from the other readers of debian-newmaint@ :)

Yes, you are able to change it yourself (until it's not saved in LDAP,
after that you won't ever be able to change it) by going to
https://nm.debian.org/person/haist/edit_ldap - in the "Debian account

Just hurry up, because once the process is approved by DAM it already

I don't think that was a library transition though: I don't see any
SONAME change in that package (but I could have missed one, with all
those binaries…).

So, it kind of sadden me to cut down on peple's happiness, but may I
suggest you go for dd_nu for now, and when you gather some more
packaging experience apply for dd_u?
I need to clarify that dd_nu and dd_u can be seen as comulative for AM
part, as dd_nu asks only P&P and when moving to dd_u only T&S are
checked.

What do you think?

Right.

Probably uploading indeed.

The options are:

* guest account → gives you time-limited access to porter boxes, and
  potentially also to caulana &friends if DSA can be convinced - but
  they expressed thoughts that access to such core project machines
  (casulana and stuff are not even dd-accessible!) probably is enough
  to warrant DDship
* DM → gives you upload rights for a limited set of packages
* DM with guest account → both of the above
* dd non upload → gives you access to all dd-accessible machines, and
  upload rights for limited set of packages
* dd upload → gives you access to all dd-accessible machines, and upload
  rights for all the archive


I'm basically fine with everything, and with you being a contributor for
quite some time already (2016 at least) I'm not that fussy as I've been
in other cases.  Just it's nowadays not so common going directly to
DD,upload without having been DM for a while before, and your packaging
activity doesn't really show any interest in the rest of the archive.
Due to that, whilst I can appreciate that e17 may not be exactly an easy
package to deal with, it also doesn't exactly show you have a wide
enough knowledge about packaging and procedures (like, have you ever
done a NMU or already know the rules?  QA uploads?  library transitions?
package removals? Try going through nm_ts.txt, nm_ts_extras.txt and
nm_ts_followup.txt in https://salsa.debian.org/nm-team/nm-templates/ and
think whether you know the answers to them, or at least know where to go
to read up about such matters.  IMHO that's a good indicator you are
ready to apply).


I can also stop worrying over your application if you find some
advocate(s) other than Andreas Metzler :)

Any particular case you are not going through DM?
I'm not seeing that many uploads from you that could tell me that you
have enough experience even if you haven't been a DM.

ok.
So is this the main reason for you to push for dd_u at this point?

That's very easy to sort out with a guest account, and is way quicker
than the dd_u process.

This is weird.  With the default development configuration, running
`./manage.py runserver` runs the django app faking all accesses are done
by a user named `enrico` that is superuser and have all possible rights
you can imagine.  You are not seeing that?  From there you could just
create extra accounts through the django admin interface and give them
the rights you want them to have (either different status, or to make
one AM you need to click "make AM" in their profile page).  I don't
remember if the json export you get from
https://nm.debian.org/am/db-export contains the rights of the users (the
AMs in particular I'm not sure) in this regard.

IMHO you should see if you could split the changes in smaller batches
and provide MRs for the mergable bits (and even for the non-mergable
ones, just mark them as WIP).  It usually helps a lot on having
smaller chunks to review, so reviewers aren't scared off (I could review
small/obvious bits, for big/huge/non-obvious changes you pretty much
need to wait for only enrico…)

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA512

For nm.debian.org, at 2018-08-24:
I support Simon Quigley 's request to become Debian 
Developer, uploading.

I've worked with him for a couple of years already, seeing him grow from pretty
much nothing to his heavy involvement with the Debian Qt/KDE team.
Even thought I personally sponsored only a handful of packages for him, I helped
him with many others, including some not-so-trivial library packages (including
the most recent Qt transition, I've watched him doing most of the work of
preparing and handling all of it), which made me confident of his technical 
skills.

He loves to do good work everywhere, often seeking suggestions from his peers on
how to do things better, and he doesn't shy away from challenges or new things,
making him a great asset for all teams to have.
Also, I don't think I ever saw him breaking something and leaving it broken for
others to fix, which is also nice.

I have personally worked with Simon Quigley 
(key 5C7ABEA20F8630459CC8C8B5E27F2CF8458C2FA4) for 2 years, and I know Simon
Quigley can be trusted to be a full member of Debian, and have unsupervised,
unrestricted upload rights, right now.

Just as a data point: I had been granted the 'qa' unix group before (ok,
only few months) I was a DD (and with that I had access to things like
quantz.d.o which does have private things like the MIA db without being
a Project Member).

But your point is valid.  Also, now the problem doesn't exist anymore,
so let's talk about this whenever another similar case comes around in

Exactly.  Once you are a DD (be it uploading or not, it doesn't matter)
you gain voting rights for GRs, elections for the Debian Project Leader,
access to the debian-private@ ML which contains stuff that are -guess!-
private; nothing Earth-shattering, but still I prefer to make sure there
are reason people are joining.

See https://www.debian.org/vote/2010/vote_002 which is the relevant
GR that introduced non-uploading DD.  Pretty much this is about
recognizing people that work on Debian but don't do packaging work,
therefore they don't need uploading rights to the archive.

The fact that you are asking this is not particularly inspiring to me,
but considering the surrounding contributions and how many people
supports you, I guess it's fine even if you don't know what you are
applying for, I suppose… :)

> I am in the organization of dc19.

So you do dc17+dc18+dc19.  According to previous cases, that's enough to
be a dd_nu!


At any rate, good luck with your NM process!

This is indeed one reason I'm doing it.  I often pondered whether to do
it in public or in private, but turns out that most of the time is
indeed some misunderstanding, like in this case, so having everything in
public is IMHO a good thing.

Remember that in the nm.d.o website there is a field for comments, that
also let people leave confidential comments that are read only by FD.  I
can't talk for everybody, but I at least would like to know if anybody
has concerns on a particular applicant.
I'm personally sad to admit that in past when I shared my concerns in
this mail list I felt mostly ignored, when all it would have takes were
some clarifications on the applications...

Indeed one of the reason I couldn't understand this Helen's application
was because of her quite terse introduction...

I pretty much ignored such advocacy.  Handing out keys is surely
respectable but hardly enough to be project members...
When the dd_nu concept was introduced one reason that was brought on the
table was to recognize people like the DebConf contributors that would
otherwise not be mentioned anywhere.  With Taowa being a member of DC17
and DC18 that was good enough for me to go ahead without much blinking.
As advocacies go, Holger's words were more "useful" than Hector's or
ChangZhuo's, despite not being formally sent through the website.

Worry not anymore, I'm not blocking her process! :)
My doubts about Helen dissipated, so I'm not concerned anymore.
Also, despite what some people seem to believe I didn't start this
discussion with the direct goal of blocking her (nor with any other
applicant in the past) but to rather understand better the situation.
(OK, I did block Helen's DM application because that was totally odd for
me and didn't make sense, and indeed it was not the correct course of
action, as this discussion proved).

Let me look for an AM now

Of course I do not assume such a thing.  But the application talks only
about techinical stuff: work with EFI (btw, I do remember her pushing
for EFI signing on IRC) and cloud teams.  Those are totally things that
happen in code repositories.
Only one advocacy mentions work on DC19.

But anyway, contributors.debian.org was made with the exact porpuse of
making traking non-packaging contributions more easily.  I recomend
anybody that is involved in any of those fields to have a look at it,
write up a data source (which is incredibly easy to do) to submit
contributions data (iirc there were talks about hooking up something
pseudo-directly on salsa, not sure how this progressed).

> Helen has act as a Debian advocate and mentor for newbies for a while

This wasn't mentioned in the application.

That was surely one point, especially one (dm) that in my view didn't
make any sanse (especially after you wrote she has sufficient
sponsorship potential in her teams).

Of course, that's the goal of dd_nu!  I was somewhat taken aback first
by the weirdness of the double application, and also because both the
declaration of intent and the advocacies could have used with a lot of
more details on what she has done, they are all about how generally
good Helen is and her potential…
Given indeed that is hard to track the work some dd_nu people do
(because our tooling pretty much sucks for non-packaging work), more
details than a dd_u (for whom looking up their packages is easy) are
needed.

A detail that may not be known to everybody: since what I believe is
less than a year, dd_nu people could be granted DM rights like DMs (as
somebody can't be dd_nu and dm at the same time).

Have you considered asking for a guest account?
If you only need access to _certain_ machines, that's quite the easy
scapegoat.  Also, it could be granted pretty much instantly.


I was also looking at your DM application indeed, but I consider that
pattern "I believe as [more power level] I [could do something]" is a
dangerous train of thought.  You shouldn't be asking for something
because probably maybe at some point it might be handy; rather, you
should be trying to do something and see that you are blocked to do that
thing, or maybe have done so many things by going through somebody (i.e.
sent a relevant ton of good patches) to gain trust.

You say "mainly for the debian-cloud image build process".  I don't know
how that's done.  If it's about code, I trust the code is public and you
could replicate it, same I hope for the build logs of those build
processes; so is there anything blocking you?  Note that I totally
believe already that having access to all the relevant machines is more
handy, but I'd like to understand what's the problem.
Also in the context of allowing more external contributors: if
something like that requires any contributors to be able to ssh to a
.d.o machine, than that's something that ought to be fixed.


Furthermore, looking at
https://contributors.debian.org/contributor/koike-guest@alioth/ I can
see only contributions to bugs.d.o,
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?correspondent=helen.fornaz...@gmail.com&archive=both
lists only 5 bugs.  Personally I consider somebody that interacted with
only 5 bugs in the bts to not have enough knowledge of the bts to be
neither DM nor DD (but that's could easily be just me!).

Alas, I don't believe DD, uploading is an appropriate status for you.
You have started contributing to debian this year, which is in no way
enough time for anybody to be granted so many powers.

I also can't see how contributing to Salsa's CI requires DDship, so it's
also not a case where lacking of this "DD" flag is blocking any work.

If you are "concerned" about your own package, then the way to go for
now would be DM, unless there are reasons not to, which I'd be glad to
hear.

Incidentally, I would also like to know if you received an ACK (probably
from barry) before doing these changes:

I support Unit 193 's request to become Debian Developer,

I have worked with Unit 193 on many packages, even if they often ended up being
sponsored by somebody else.  I reviewed packages like inxi, alpine and several
xfce packages, both for Debian and Ubuntu.

It's a huge pleasure working with him, his communication style may be unusual at
first but after a while it feels incredibly relaxing, and manages to always keep
any kind of discussion very calm.  He tries very hard not to step on anybody's
toes - something that I consider both a "feature" (as it prevents conflicts) and
a "bug" (as he ends up with work that takes forever to be merged) of him.

Also, his very thorough is astonishing; he often came to me to review work 
without
giving me the chance to say anything bad about it :)
I also trust him not to break things: he won't upload something he is not
confident about, and he is not shy to ask for help if he doesn't understand 
something,
and I'm positive this part of him won't change even if he has more power in his 
hands.


I have personally worked with Unit 193

I'm quite shocked to hear this, tbh.

Creating accounts in LDAP for DMs (or even "simple" contributors without
any specific status in our systems) is perfectly fine and is being done
any day.  Even I had access to qa.d.o and other machines even before
being a DD.


This shouldn't block this application in any way, but I would like this

Maintainer.

I have worked with Simon for more than a year, on a variety of packages.
Even thought I personally sponsored only a handful of packages for him, I 
helped him
with many others, including some not-so-trivial library packages, whish made me
confident of his technical skills.
Also his social skills are great: he is more than able to constructively 
interact
with other developers.

I have personally worked with Simon Quigley 
(key 5C7ABEA20F8630459CC8C8B5E27F2CF8458C2FA4), and I know Simon Quigley can be
trusted to have upload rights for his own packages, right now.

Mh, no, process 468¹ is for DD_u, 469² is for DM as far as I can see.

We could, moving around things, but it's better if the applicant would
just close and open a new one.  Indeed could you, Inaki, please close
the DD one?



Then, _personally_ speaking: I see that *in Debian* you have very few
contributions: you are listed as uploader of only one package, and this
happened less than a month ago, and anyway you did very few changes to
that package.
Ok that you want to do things, I but I personally believe nobody should
be granted DM rights because they want to do things, more like because
they need them to actually do things and the sponsorship process doesn't
make any sense for them anymore.  I would recommend you reconsider and
wait some time, in the meantime you should see about contributing more
(for DMship there is no need of broad contributions, but surely not even
a single upload with your name in Changed-by is too little....)

Just my 2¢.

The housekeeping robot closes all processes without any advocacy after a
little while.
The general solution is to re-apply again for a new process, but in
alternative Front Desk can manually tinker with the process and re-open
it, and I've now done so! :)

There also was one with an UID with a completely different name from the
others (I don't remember if that one was rejected by you or just frowned
upon but later approved).

Well, they already have to, to approve the key.
Yes, this would block the processes until that (quite critical) part of
the process is not cleared.

It would also avoid bad feelings from potential DMs who see their
processes manually closed for inactivity when they have everything and
only lack a signed key.

As a matter of fact, I know there is a timeout thing somewhere closing
processes without any advocacy after a while.  That would allow this
mechanism to work for DMs without good enough keys, without manual
involvement (and avoids "damn Mattia, closing my process!"-thoughts).

Bug#889616: nm.debian.org: please block DM applications until the key requirements are satisfied

2018-02-04 Thread Mattia Rizzolo
Package: nm.debian.org
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-newmaint@lists.debian.org


Currently we have 6 DM processes that have been stalled for many months
(the oldest started last May, i.e. 9 months ago) because of issues with
the applicant GPG key.
Issues range from "no signatures at all" through "no dd signatures" to
"unacceptable uid, rejected by keyring-maint".

I believe the processes should not proceed (in particular, not accept
advocacies) until the key is not valid, or manually accepted by FD.
Those 6 processes I've looked at don't show any sign of a solution in
sight, and will probably be closed by FD one of these days, causing
unhappiness for all the involved parties¹.

I don't know how the situation is in DD processes, but there seem to be
no DD processes stuck at "keycheck" in the AM dashboard, so perhaps
that's not a issue for those, but otherwise I think the same
considerations there should apply.


A quick pool in #debian-newmaint reveled no opposition, so I'm opening a
bug report requesting the feature to be implemented, and at the same
time posting this to debian-newmaint@ to check if anybody would be too
upset by the change.


¹ as the process will then have to be restart if wanted, and previous
advocacies will have to either be re-made (i.e. bother the advocate
again) or some nm.d.o admin will need to carry it over to the new
process (not going to happen), or an FD need to manually approve the
requirement (i.e. bother FD + cause confusion to everybody because the
process doesn't link any advocacy, etc).

There is no hard number for becoming DM or DD or whatever.  IMHO is more
about showing enough experience overall, and in your case that's
probably true enough for you to become DM.

Just, your application is for DD, not for DM!

That's good.  I think knowing how to interact with the bug tracking
system is essential to any package maintainer.

While that might be true (you did work on those packages for many years
already), I do not think it's appropriate for you to become DD just yet.
IMHO you haven't touched nearly enough packages to have an throughout
understanding of enough niches of Debian packaging, and (from what I see
after randomly opening a bug report of a package you maintain) you also
don't know how to deal with BTS control commands.

If anything, you might probably apply for DM so that you don't need a
sponsor for your own packages, rather than DD.

The problem with becoming non-uploading DD is that you lose the DM
rights.  At least, that's what I remember from previous discussions,
ICBW.

According to my UDD query [1], there are only 15 uploads with his name
in Changed-By, touching only 4 packages in total (and most of them are
of the single package "powerline").

Whilst I can see how contributing in the DebConf orga is a huge
contribution to our community, I question your technical abilities.  Of
the two advocacies, one said nothing about technical aspects, and the
other is a generic "he is a DM => he has the needed background";
besides, neither of them sponsored his uploads.

Having upload rights to the Debian archives means you will then be able
to upload everything, and whilst I don't expect everybody to be able to
understand everything, I do expect all DDs to have enough knowledge and
abilities to be able to "find their way" in most packages, ability that
I do not believe you have publicly proved.

I'm more than happy to be proved wrong.

For nm.debian.org, at 2016-06-17:
I support Reiner Herrmann 's request to become Debian 
Maintainer.

I have personally worked with Reiner Herrmann 
(key 2F5DAF3FC1F793D94F3D900CA721DA055374AA4F) for 1,5 years inside the
Reproducibe Builds effort, and I've been sponsoring all kind of packages for him
since I've become DD (both packages he maintains, NMUs and QA upload, even with
complex things).
I've met him physically 2 times and I can attest it's a pleasure to work with
him also in person.

I know Reiner Herrmann can be trusted to have upload rights for his own 
packages, right now.

And I hope to see a DD application in the future!

I too sponsored several stuff from Jerome¹, and was always happy, and
very rarely had to point out issues but really nothing grave or
techinically wrong.

I haven't had any occasion to consider his social skills, as the only
interactions I recall have been through RFS bugs, but for sure I believe
that Jerome BENOIT has the technical skills needed to maintain Debian
packages.

I hereby support his application to become a Debian Maintainer.



¹ Hell, I want him DM so we don't get so many RFS from him :P

I hereby adovcate Sean's application to become DM.

I sponsored several of his packages below, and always find the work
nearly to perfect, and never found any actual blocker for an upload.
Furthermore, working with him is actually enjoyable, which is never bad.

I look forward to see Sean a full fledged Debian Maintainer.

Being no DD prevents me from doing a proper advocay, but I
wholeheartedly supports his application.

Can't do much more than echoing Lunar's words, very happy to see this
mails, after he declared his willingness to become DM during the Dc :)

To be complete, this is you:

DDs have a bottom to advocate you.
I have no clue whether you might be able to login and the site can recognize
you, but I'd try, so you can fill in the bio before the advocacies.

DM application of Mattia Rizzolo

2014-08-24 Thread Mattia Rizzolo
This is my declaration of intent to become a Debian Maintainer
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMaintainer>.

I have read the Social Contract, Debian Free Software Guidelines and
Debian Machine Usage Policy and agree with all of them.

Currently, I maintain the packages licenseutils and pencil2d and I co‐maintain
the packages scribus and scribus-doc.

My GnuPG key 66AE2B4AFCCF3F52DA184D184B043FCDB9444540 is signed by the Debian
Developers Andrea Colangelo (warp10) and Enrico Zini (enrico).

I look forward to becoming a Debian Maintainer. Thanks for your attention.

Great!

The process is quite "harder" than that, nothing difficult, though :)

In this page is explained quite well:
https://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers (please, follow links
from that page)

Anyway, this is not the right list to write, debian-mentors (here
CC'ed) is far better, where you can find a sponsor, by filing a bug
against the pseudo-package sponsorship-request (using the template
from mentors.d.n)
If you have any question about the packaging, please write to that ML.
Any review to your package will be a follow-up to the RFS bug, and
thus an email to the debian-mentors ml.
