For nm.debian.org, at 2022-07-06:
I support James Lu <james@overdrivenetworks.com>'s request to become a Debian Developer, uploading.
I have worked with James Lu on a lot of packages in the last years, and gave him DM privileges for variety.
He is helping Debian since 7 years, and I consider them as having sufficient technical competence.

I have personally worked with James Lu <james@overdrivenetworks.com>
(key D5D568B2D34AB32A337944D22EC3F60DE71C0B9D) for many years, and I know James Lu
can be trusted to be a full member of Debian, and have unsupervised, unrestricted upload rights, right now.

For nm.debian.org, on 2022-07-13,

James Lu is a competent packager and decent person.
We've worked together on icoextract/exe-thumbnailer, libqalculate, lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings, qalculate-gtk, variety and xfce4-eyes-plugin.
While I wouldn't say he's perfect, I challenge you to find a single Debian developer who is.

I fully support James Lu's application to become a Debian developer, uploading.
