  For nm.debian.org, at 2022-12-06:
  I would like to apply to change my status in Debian to Debian Developer,
  uploading.
  I have worked on maintaining some packages for the past six months as a
  Debian Maintainer and I would like to be able to upload packages to the
  NEW queue without a sponsor. I'd like to introduce some more packages
  related to the existing packages I have worked on as well as contribute
  to existing packages without additional barriers of not being a Debian
  Developer. I feel that my past experience shows that I am experienced
  enough to be a full member of the Debian project.
  In Debian so far I have packaged useful tools including some multimedia
  packages, qpwgraph and fluster. I have also packaged some embedded
  development packages, used to write data to some targets, including
  rkdeveloptool and qdl.
  I have taken over the maintenance of the Debian packages debos and
  golang-github-go-debos-fakemachine, where I am also involved in
  maintenance upstream.
  In terms of other packages, I have contributed some additional
  development board support to the u-boot package and I have contributed
  the rusticl driver packaging to mesa.
  Also I have contributed some additional board support work to the linux
  and initramfs-tools packages.
  I have interacted with the python, go, rust and backports teams.
  Overall I think my past interactions with the Debian project show that I
  touch the whole stack of a modern Linux system. I have been developing
  Linux systems, always using Debian as a base, for well over ten years
  now.
  I started working with 64 Studio Ltd in 2010 where I helped maintain the
  64 Studio multimedia distribution as well as the tooling to develop such
  distributions. This consisted of a project called PDK ("Platform
  Development Kit"). Eventually there was no need for the distribution,
  since our changes were pushed back into Debian making the ecosystem work
  for everyone.
  Since 2020 I have been working with Collabora Ltd where I help to develop
  Debian derivatives and custom Debian images for customer's projects. All
  of the work I do, including new features, bug reports and packaging ends
  up being pushed back to Debian or the open source world where possible.
