For nm.debian.org, at 2022-11-10:
I support Matthias Geiger <matthias.geiger1024@tutanota.de>'s request to become a Debian Maintainer.

I have sponsored numerous uploads for Matthias including 6 new source packages. He has prepared many new packages with a particular focus on GNOME apps and Rust libraries to build GNOME apps. Creating new packages is one of the more complex packaging tasks for Debian. His work has been consistently high quality. We have also worked together to improve the initial packaging.
Beyond packaging skills, Matthias has been pleasant to communicate with.

I have personally worked with Matthias Geiger <matthias.geiger1024@tutanota.de>
(key C2E1A6CBFDECE511A8A4176D18BD106B3B6C5475) for 7 months, and I know Matthias Geiger
can be trusted to have upload rights for their own packages, right now.
