Key 0CE06FE392AA48F8D22E4471F9EF8EE0C021630F should be moved from the
'Debian Maintainer' to the 'Debian Developer, uploading' keyring.

Details from cgmb:

  For nm.debian.org, at 2025-02-05:
  I, Cordell Bloor, am applying to become a Debian Developer with uploading
  rights. I have been a Debian Maintainer for a little under two years and
  have helped to package and maintain many libraries within the AMD GPU
  compute stack. As part of the Debian ROCm Team, I prepared sixteen new
  source packages that have been accepted into Debian, including rocfft,
  rocblas, rocsolver, rocsparse, rocthrust, hipify, and roctracer. I also
  helped in the maintenance and enhancement of existing packages. In
  particular, I did much of the work for the upgrade from ROCm 5.2 to ROCm
  5.7 in early 2024.
  I currently have upload rights for most of the ROCm packages in Debian,
  and while the role of Debian Maintainer gives me significant power to
  help maintain packages, the need for sponsorship when uploading new
  binary packages is burdensome. Further, the documentation for package
  sponsorship states that only Debian Developers may sponsor uploads, which
  has limited my ability to help mentor Sponsored Maintainers. These are
  the two main reasons why I wish to become a full Debian Developer with
  upload privileges.
  However, there is a third reason why I wish to become a Debian Developer.
  There are important aspects of Debian that are decided through voting. In
  particular, there is likely to be a general resolution on Open Source AI
  in Debian. As an individual with a strong interest in free and open
  source software, I would like to become a full member so I may vote on
  these resolutions.
