I support Hugh McMaster <hugh.mcmaster@outlook.com>'s request to become
a Debian Developer, uploading.

I have worked with Hugh McMaster on many packages for at least 4 years,
and I consider him as having sufficient technical competence to be a DD.


Since Hugh became DM in 2021 he submitted a bunch of QA uploads and NMUs
for my review and sponsorship, and I don't remember having to point out
any relevant remarks on his work.
Also, he has a proven track record of being fully aware of Debian's
procedures, as well as interacting with his peers in a steady,
constructive manner.

I can only echo my own words on Hugh from my last DM advocacy, as over
the time my impression of him has only improved, and I fully believe he
is befitting of being a member of our Project.

I have personally worked with Hugh McMaster <hugh.mcmaster@outlook.com>
(key 3A20813CA57946868C5152115AC61074C5E81BC4), and I know Hugh McMaster
can be trusted to be a full member of Debian, and have unsupervised,
unrestricted upload rights, right now.

I support Hugh McMaster <hugh.mcmaster@outlook.com>'s request to become a Debian Developer, uploading.
I have worked with Hugh McMaster on gdome2, ramond, nd, loudgain, dictconv, dia2code, cpm, and apwal.
over the last year (mostly QA uploads) and I consider him as having sufficient technical competence.

Hugh's package changes are always clean and very well documented in the changelog.
It is a pleasure to see someone caring about the orphaned packages in Debian to keep them in
reasonably well shape while targetting long-term goals, such as removing xml2-config from libxml2.
