I fully support Holger Wansing <hwansing@mailbox.org>'s request to
become a Debian Developer, uploading.

I have worked with Holger Wansing on the Debian Installer (d-i) for many
years and I consider him as having sufficient technical competence.

Not only is Holger fluent with l10n topics (he's been the corner/rosetta
stone for l10n coordination for a long while), he's been uploading a ton
of d-i packages to include translation updates, fix i18n/l10n issues,
and merge some other fixes or improvements, via DM permissions. Having
looked at many of those uploads (after the fact, while preparing d-i
releases and release announcements), I don't recall any serious problems
with those uploads, and I trust Holger to perform unsupervised uploads
of any packages he's comfortable patching/uploading on his own. I also
know Holger isn't shy about asking for help/review when needed, which is
also an excellent quality in my book. In addition to recognizing his
technical excellence, that'd also remove the requirement for a sponsor
and DM administrativia for NEW packages.

I have personally worked with Holger Wansing <hwansing@mailbox.org> (key
496AC6E814424B348508352959F187CA156EB076) for many years, and I know
Holger Wansing can be trusted to be a full member of Debian, and have
unsupervised, unrestricted upload rights, right now. If it weren't for
the infrequent reminders due to DM ACLs, I would have totally forgotten
about the current “non-uploading” part.

Please make Holger a regular DD ASAP, thanks! :)

He been driving the translation efforts of the d-i team for a long
time now, and has shown himself to be competent, reliable and good to
work with. He's also not afraid to ask for help when it's needed, and
I trust his judgement here.
