For nm.debian.org, at 2025-04-07:
I support Colin King <colin.i.king@gmail.com>'s request to become a Debian Developer, uploading.
I have worked with Colin King on various Intel managment packages
for the past 9 months and I consider them as having sufficient technical competence.
Colin is very knowledgeable and thorough in his work. He has a strong attention
to detail and exhibits professionalism in his communications.
I have personally worked with Colin King <colin.i.king@gmail.com>
(key 7062DAA4F001B9C6616700CF68C287DFC6A80226) for 9 months, and I know Colin King
can be trusted to be a full member of Debian, and have unsupervised, unrestricted upload rights, right now.

I worked with Colin and I'd trust him to do uploads on his own.
I've checked his recent work at https://salsa.debian.org/ColinKing/intel-lpmd/-/commits/master?ref_type=HEADS
and I've also worked with him in the past on Debian packaging.
As his short biography shows he is more than qualified to become a Debian Developer.

I support Colin King <colin.i.king@gmail.com>'s request to become a Debian
Developer, uploading.
I worked with Colin on and off from 2008-2021 at Canonical. In the first
couple of years I remember occasionally working together on various boot
loader issues (I was mainly working on the installer and he was on the
kernel team, so that was the natural interface), UEFI issues, and 4K-sector
disks. After that we didn't overlap so much, but when we did come into
contact I remember him as an exceptionally thorough analyst and an amazing
person to go to if you ever needed somebody to do a terrifyingly deep dive
into a difficult problem.
While I haven't worked with him much on specifically Debian-related things,
he's been a DM for years and I 100% trust his thorough attitude to quality
control, so I see no reason he couldn't be a DD.
