For nm.debian.org, at 2024-12-31:
I support Ben Collins <bcollins@ubuntu.com>'s request to become a Debian
Maintainer.
I worked with Ben from 2005-2009 or thereabouts at Canonical, in the early
days of Ubuntu. I recall most of this being technical collaboration around
the interface between the installer and the kernel, although I was also his
line manager for a short while. We then had occasional contact for a few
years after that in areas related to the powerpc port.
Although it's certainly been a while, Ben certainly had more than sufficient
technical competence a decade ago, and I see no reason he shouldn't be
trusted to reactivate his upload rights.
