For nm.debian.org, at 2022-07-18:
I support Robin Jarry <robin@jarry.cc>'s request to become a Debian Maintainer.
I have worked with Robin Jarry on aerc, buildbot and many other python and golang packages
since November of 2021 and I consider them as having sufficient technical competence.

My first intercations with Robin started when the original upstream maintainer of
aerc stopped working on it and Robin took over the upstream maintainence.
I soon realised that he also contributes to Debian, and hence sponsored a few uploads for him.
I have sponsored uploads for buildbot and some of its dependencies to NEW. Recently, Robin
kindly agreed to co-maintain aerc along with me, and I also reviewed a number of his
golang packages and sponsored uploads to NEW.

Whilst working with him, I would either upload the package as-is or with very minor changes, the
quality of his packages is very good in whatever upload he prepares.
He is technically pretty competent and can fix things on his own, which is unsurprising
given his contributions on a number of free software projects.
Robin is also very
friendly to work with and incorporates any suggestions given to him propmtly and has been wonderful
to work with.

I have personally worked with Robin Jarry <robin@jarry.cc>
(key DC0718E322E2C7605EBDC83146957EC08FD0FE90) for almost an year, and I know Robin Jarry
can be trusted to have upload rights for their own packages, right now.
