I support William Desportes <williamdes@wdes.fr>'s request to become a
Debian Developer, uploading.
I have worked with William Desportes on phpmyadmin and PHP related
dependencies for about three years and I consider them as having
sufficient technical competence.

We managed to have friendly real time exchange in French when William
started working on pushing back phpmyadmin to Debian, he managed to
bring the packages back in Bullseye (and Buster backports). He is also
taking care of dependencies in the PHP PEAR (and Composer) realm. He
already managed to push fixes in a stable point release.

I have personally worked with William Desportes <williamdes@wdes.fr>
for about three years, and I know William Desportes can be trusted to be
a full member of Debian, and have unsupervised, unrestricted upload
rights, right now.

Cheers,

taffit

I support William Desportes <williamdes@wdes.fr>'s request to become a Debian
Developer, uploading. I have worked with William Desportes on a bunch of
packages for over two years and I consider them as having sufficient technical
competence.

Not only William has been quick in addressing the feedback but I had to barely
suggest any changes in his work to begin with. His work is neat and great and
fast. He has helped in transitions, security fixes, backports, RC bug fixes,
and so on. It has been an honor to work, help, and mentor William over the
last couple of years and I think him becoming a DD would be a net win for the
project.

I support William Desportes <williamdes@wdes.fr>'s request to become a
Debian Developer, uploading.
I have worked with William Desportes on PHP Composer library packaging
for 6 months and I consider them as having sufficient technical
competence.

I have found that William is well aware of best practices for
packaging. He listens to feedback about his work, for both technical
details and team interactions.
