Details from gibmat:

  For nm.debian.org, at 2021-12-29:
  I would like to apply to change my status in Debian to Debian Maintainer.
  I have been a Debian user for over ten years, and figured it's about time
  to more formally contribute back.
  In December 2020, I began work on preparing my first formal package for
  Debian: openrct2. It (plus its two dependencies) were sponsored by
  Andrius Merkys (merkys) in March 2021. While waiting for the packages to
  make it through NEW, I prepared updates as the upstream developers
  released new versions. I have also worked with the upstream developers to
  fix and correct a handful of small issues while working on Debian
  packaging.
  In October 2021, I began serious work on packaging LXD (plus all its
  dependencies) for Debian, which will resolve a seven year old ITP that's
  been worked on in starts and fits, but never actually concluded. Aloïs
  Micard (creekorful) has graciously sponsored my work for this under the
  Go Packaging Team umbrella: I have worked on 39 new/adopted/updated
  packages in main, with another 9 packages either pending upload to NEW,
  sitting in NEW, or pending upload to unstable as an update. While working
  on packaging, I have been active with several of the upstream projects,
  reporting issues with build problems, test failures, removing vendored
  copies of code, and updating stale golang dependencies.
  My primary area of interest is packaging software that I use, but isn't
  currently included in Debian. This was/is the case for both openrct2 and
  LXD; I had been maintaining my own private packaging of these programs,
  but it really makes more sense to get them into Debian so everyone can
  use them.
  I am applying to be a DM primarily so I can directly update packages I
  have worked on, such as openrct2, without having to bother my (very kind)
  sponsors. Eventually I would like to become a full-fledged DD.
