-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 For nm.debian.org, at 2022-08-03: I support Ben Westover 's request to become a Debian Maintainer. I have worked with Ben Westover on various packages maintained by the Python Team in the last few months and consider them as having sufficient technical competence. More specifically, I have sponsored "python-pypartpicker" for Ben during the month of July 2022 and was satisfied with the technical work and general understand of Debian packaging. I like to believe I have high technical standards when it comes to sponsoring a Python package and had to ask for very little changes. I have also witnessed 3 other packages they worked on in the Python Team being reviewed and sponsored by other members of the team, namely "python-freenom", "python-discord" and "bumblebee-status". Although I did not formally review these packages, I offered some advice over IRC for various fixes and was happy to see Ben Westover incorporate them. Finally, I have had nothing but cordial interactions with Ben over IRC and I'm convinced they have suitable social skills for the Debian project. I have personally worked with Ben Westover (key 3869DA72A461754E9E366B45C311C5F54E89B698) for 3 months, and I know Ben Westover can be trusted to have upload rights for their own packages, right now. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEARYKAB0WIQTKp0AHB6gWsCAvw830JXpQshz6hQUCYurxSQAKCRD0JXpQshz6 harDAP9P7rk5m618RcmS2lxnVZHxN8xEGxAjsiMeO9fhkKOLWAEA/+/PG0WiiTwa 6/yZ9enrUsdBwQ1a9XCcL2HJOuuFxQY= =+TYr -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
