For nm.debian.org, at 2022-12-19:

I support Douglas Kosovic <doug@uq.edu.au>'s request to become a Debian
Maintainer.

My first contact with Doug was in 2017, when he approached the Debian Utopia
maintenance team about the sponsorship of the NetworkManager-l2tp package [1].

Since that time, he kept maintaining the package and we've been in recurring
contact about the uploads of the network-manager-l2tp package [2].

Doug has always been eager to learn and open to my feedback and has done a
great job in maintaining his package up to the point where I encouraged him to
apply for DM.  My interactions with him were always pleasant and constructive.

I'm convinced, Doug is familiar enough with the Debian procedures at this point
to upload packages on his own and if in doubt, he is not afraid to ask.

I have personally worked with Douglas Kosovic <doug@uq.edu.au> (key
2B4F9EDCAE00DEE4D0D7A6E588953E6F011CDC96) for over 5 years now, and I know
Douglas Kosovic can be trusted to have upload rights for their own packages,
right now.

I'm looking forward to Doug becoming a DM.

Regards,
Michael
