-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 I would like to apply to change my status in Debian to Debian Developer, uploading. I first used Debian about 10 years ago and was impressed by its stability, but it wasn't until almost 3 years ago that I had the opportunity to contribute to Debian, starting as a Debian RISC-V porter. Thanks to the hard work of the Debian riscv64 port pioneers, my porting work started smoothly. I still remember that the first key package I ported was Nodejs with the help of Jérémy Lal. Throughout this journey, I have been deeply encouraged by the support of package maintainers and the related team regarding the RISC-V porting efforts. For example, many patches were merged quickly, and many people were interested in RISC-V hardware at DebConf24. And I also received valuable encouragement and guidance from aurel32 and mafm to continue advancing the Debian riscv64 porting work, including co-maintaining the buildd machines of unofficial port and fixing numerous FTBFS issues. I would also like to extend my gratitude to the debci team, whose support has been invaluable help to setup and maintenance of the riscv64 workers. In addition to riscv64 port work, I have also done a lot of packaging, mainly focusing on Python packages, along with some contributions to development or other packages. My first package was to adopt jimtcl, from which I learned many Debian processes. Next, I joined DPT to package many Python packages required by other developers or users. Thanks to the well-documented DPT workflow, I quickly mastered Debian packaging with git-buildpackage, which is suitable for most Debian packaging and allows me to verify patches on riscv64 hardware efficiently also. Additionally, I gained valuable packaging skills and received helpful guidance from experienced sponsors like Boyuan Yang, Stefano Rivera, Emmanuel Arias, Jeroen Ploemen, and Louis-Philippe Véronneau. They not only sponsored my package but also demonstrated high-quality packaging as Debian developers. Furthermore, I maintained jimtcl and rush for almost two years, following the previous maintainer's good practices.I brought in gl4es and xwayland-run also. And now zlog and qtrvsim(sponsored by Yunqiang Su) which are waitting to be uploaded, so I'm confident in packaging general development packages,including splitting packages and managing soname bumps. Certainly, I have packaged several OCaml packages with sponsorship from Stéphane Glondu and Gianfranco Costamagna. Given my limited OCaml knowledge, I will continue to seek their reviews before uploading my OCaml packages. Lastly, I also did some QA work, including fixing FTBFS issues during the Python 3.11/3.12 and GCC 13/14 transitions and related patches/issues submitted upstream as well. I also did some QA uploads with sponsorship. I believe that becoming a DD will enhance my RISC-V porting work effectively and will bring me to make more contributions to the community. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEIcmhjYVTlmab0tjp+RVP3hQ+S68FAmcg+QMACgkQ+RVP3hQ+ S6/pzw//de4aQwWmHCUxMyk7QhoaXaoASipxMzBQjriV8ABsh5DjOdBZ5dezMgAf TCpcPyI23nYjEenThwzVgug6HKtNWHKLcO2zcG/FywzfPziolt4ENDbnZVkCzDgd HQ8q0w31oVOu+5KmR1CfTbRgF8Gz57tZVLkio1KTY8TOdBO7Hmk5gzhD6JDC1FPe tGbfTZy4/rzFM0/fm6D9Vu6Z6AcJi5AOA3YY3hdGhon+OJ38XuGX0NVUSYVhAog1 mffsdribiuwf1i1mg/hJt2ecmYLQh5B4mV1wdH9QXda/SZ+sdawuVRuR9KJ5UNe0 Vq11Ef7aLA26q0GVKLCkDZc1BaOikU1KqOPb5RQ/YNKVktYy7K4McmaerzrsmGOS dmdarVhMAcgWyu6Y4UUSZWX7GSglO1l9y9Ni5Uh4GT38Tnl/EKmzc9jvu9vs8GLS M5z8gZZpXSzP/oxyit2fgv2LfyePyKaJIsdrW3seopCh2htROdQgH+giz8lQX5n4 3v3TAssnxphDl3F7z3O0egJJiJpoCTxZ5EB1lEN3Qjo53KC/pKayWH8021dgHGdO 59hEtkzJ7BlPlv28kq86ZAo6j/5ihcq5vEwGcUjiYedDBZ2tTHbGwRKrQCuWGy22 y8bOOTVJu/jOIXe3EDPvq/fwZFBehl1bGy278lZM9a00eCKJtfc= =lh8q -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
