For nm.debian.org, at 2024-10-20:
I would like to apply to change my status in Debian to Debian Developer, uploading.

I have been using Debian since my middle school days back at 2012. And I started to
contribute to Debian since last year.

One of my main work is on maintaining zfs-linux. I have been actively following upstream
release and triaging bug reports with other members of zfs team. I have done some non-trivial
adjustments, including opting-in usr-merge, refactoring autopkgtests (with the help of debci
team). Many contributions made by me in debian are also accepted by upstream.

I also made contributions in other teams. In deep learning team, I packaged many dependencies
of pytorch 2.4 in order for it to be updated. This iincludes cpuinfo, ideep, pthreadpool,
xnnpack, and onnxruntime. And I am stilling working on getting pytorch 2.5 to meet the trixie
release. I also updated several other ai-related packages, including onxdnn, faiss, tiktoken
and xgboost.

Besides, I have uploaded some new packages in Debian. This includes diff-pdf-wx, a tool for
visually comparing PDF files; drat-trim and kissat (in science team), two tools for SAT solving.
I also do QA uploads for orphaned packages like nsync, ploticus, and safeclib to keep them in
good shape for other packages to use.

By applying to become a Debian Developer, I would like to involve and help more in the community.
