Details from alpernebbi:

  For nm.debian.org, at 2022-11-27:
  I would like to apply to change my status in Debian to Debian Maintainer.
  I'm working on making Debian easier to install and use on Chromebooks.
  I have been doing hardware enablement for the one I have on the kernel
  and initramfs related packages since around 2019, and helped enable
  graphical installer support for the ARM64 architecture. See links below
  added in case you want to review my contributions [1-4].
  I have written and packaged custom software ("depthcharge-tools" [5]) to
  handle the bootloader specifics on Chromebooks. My package was recently
  sponsored into the archive, and my sponsor expressed intent to grant me
  upload rights for it. I would appreciate that.
  What remains for installer integration is new udeb packages for
  partitioning support and a post-install step, and changes to installer
  build process to make custom images. I gave a talk about all these at
  DebConf22 [5], and intend to finish them as soon as possible. I hope an
  official DM status will demonstrate I'm serious about maintaining my
  work going forward, and make it quicker and easier to get things
  reviewed and merged.
  Beyond that, I'm interested in doing more hardware enablement for other
  Chromebooks and any installer modernization efforts that might
  materialize.
