I support Shengqi Chen <harry-chen@outlook.com>'s request to become a
Debian Developer, uploading.

I know Shengqi in real life since about 8 years and he has great
motivation on improving FOSS. I've worked with him on a wide range of
Debian packages including zfs-linux and many of Deep Learning team
packages. I believe he has good understanding to Debian's philosophy
and enough skills to become an uploading Debian Developer.

For nm.debian.org, at 2024-10-21:

I support Shengqi Chen <harry-chen@outlook.com>'s request to become a Debian
Developer, uploading. I have not yet directly sponsored uploads for the
applicant, but I have witnessed the applicant's recent contributions for
Debian, in particular the updates for zfs-linux and packages maintained by
deeplearning-team <debian-ai@l.d.o> (including pytorch dependency libraries).
I konw the applicant in person for several years, and I know the applicant
is learning fast in terms of Debian development.

I acknowledge this advocate does not look like a strong one since I've not yet
directly sponsored uploads. I have asked the applicant to route some
sponsorship requests to me so I can write a stronger advocate with explicit
reviews. I'd be happy to update this whenever we have those records, if
necessary.
