I support Tim Theisen <tim@cs.wisc.edu>'s request to become a Debian
Maintainer.  I have worked with Tim Theisen on htcondor package where he
is upstream for at least half a year.  Without his insight it would not
have been possible to bring this package into shape.  It was a great
pairing between his upstream competence and my knowledge of Debian
packaging internals.  I'm positive that after this process Tim is able
to do the packaging self standing now.

2024-05-03 06:55	tille	req_approve	I have worked together with Tim Theisen on the HTCondor package. He is member of the upstream team and I personally consider training upstream in packaging a really good way to get a high quality package of complex software. I'm positive that Tim has gathered the necessary packaging skills to maintain this package on his own.	yes
