systemd for a few years now and I consider them as having sufficient technical competence.

I support Nick Rosbrook <enr0n@ubuntu.com>'s request to become a Debian Maintainer.
I have mentored Nick on the Ubuntu systemd package and encouraged him to get
involved in the Debian packaging, too. He's been doing a fantastic job of
package maintenance, using a very strucutred approach. Working with Debian
and upstream systemd to reduce delta, following an upstream-first approach.
Furthermore, he has shown great analytical skills in bug triage for systemd
(resolved, networkd, ...). He also helped driving the huge 64-bit time_t ABI
transition forward, showing deep technical understanding of system internals.
I consider him as having sufficient technical competence.
