-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 For nm.debian.org, at 2023-07-24: I support Philip Wyett 's request to become a Debian Developer, uploading. I have worked with Philip Wyett on X and Y for 2 years, and I consider them as having sufficient technical competence. I don't usually advocate when I "just" sponsor less than 20 packages for a person. I decided to gran him an exception, because: 1) he has strong motivation in keeping filezilla/libfilezilla in a good shape in Debian. 2) he is fast in acting and answer to questions/emails 3) he knows how ABI/API works, and he does "transition" the two packages successfully since when he started working on them (its a 2 packages transition, but he knows his stuff!) 4) libfilezilla bumps ABI on each release, so being DM for him is probably painful. 5) he did work on other packages such as pingus, rednotebook. 6) I think having them as DD is a great value for Debian project. I have personally worked with Philip Wyett (key 70A0AC45AC779EFE84F63AED724AA9B52F024C8B) for 2 years, and I know Philip Wyett can be trusted to be a full member of Debian, and have unsupervised, unrestricted upload rights, right now. Addendum: For nm.debian.org, at 2024-01-22: After the closing of the previous application, I asked Philip to do *many* Debian related things. It turned out that the application was a little bit premature, Debian is not just about having technical skills (and he strongly has them), but also about helping newcomers, understanding how the community is built and how to interact each other without loosing the objective that has to be to bring an OS to end users. For this reason, after sponsoring a ton of packages reviewed by him on mentors.debian.org, and giving them DM rights for the packages he maintains, I'm more confident about his ability to become a full unsupervised DD. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIyBAEBCAAdFiEEkpeKbhleSSGCX3/w808JdE6fXdkFAmWuphgACgkQ808JdE6f XdkLBg/3d/285wAURl2U9XAdtXPSTgkRPRJH/4djFK+txED9snV5n9NSNyOLNFCO CB1BfBCFF000jEUxYYHcKPupZiX6BwVz+WOZevt+k5OHC9n9PcNDMqmkooPkz6s4 qysXhSj/lFzvdMb/oZsSV6HV4Gm34QUpNa+PSJt4r3URb6qw/2cd0LmWR7AeS0hx O+Qajycl8uIdt6bVDU3nGWONiVv9TAFKFrv7TbPC7a0/WccR5lk1QZAVJrTRws+R Ro0gUTpcmqfWAjxnqU4rC7DAuRhY6SjbQL5SImOK0EfhPdNaPea4lHUhgwFlcOmY 94lw1zoyQ1WcHrfa9gadCVlhZcv8syGvYt1sYSEqVdUwBvLghEd4ehrhWTXqInXc 7n0+MYcclzIWNuoktctokpIQ6zvEs9t+fJa1piH8NDVDQ+/8mz75uU/56T/O00e8 sympLnCSo9aoFJNK1AMb+1VSbnxiUJ0aJHZJReWF8ZKeNEX2Dc3MBWMaOaGmLkHq uVN1dA5iqXgUQFWV4DC/5cddJ5EBikrJ6eNZJEb5DDiUNQK5u72g5ckSM9yIacrz 0DYOl1B8CK5XXewsCOyfeLixnZ+ZM2ktucq0QBSXVe1gAPCvMv613ZSnPRpOBaDY 67K20S/QH+swcdWM9yXXN90vx/1KfyEaGtvYkEYQuFJ9rt/EPg== =aOkj -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
