I support Manuel Traut <manut@mecka.net>'s request to become a Debian Maintainer.
I have worked with Manuel Traut on libusbgx, usbmuxctl, and upcoming labgrid
for 2.5 years and I consider him as having sufficient technical competence.

I have also followed Manuel's work on gnome-podcasts and its Rust dependencies but
was not actively involved with this work. Manuel's contributions are of high quality
and he was always quick to follow my advise. He has also contributed to Debconf25 as
a speaker and is involved in the Mobian community.

I have personally worked with Manuel Traut <manut@mecka.net>
(key 3DD87FCD3C06A76D0FC83E383A88669D54BA35B8) for 2.5 years, and I know Manuel Traut
can be trusted to have upload rights for his own packages, right now.

I support Manuel Traut <manut@mecka.net>'s request to become
a Debian Maintainer. I have worked with Manuel on multiple packages
and we also discussed solutions and challenges for several issues affecting
packages in the DebianOnMobile group. He also demoed a nice solution
that will allow us to automate testing in this realm. I consider him as
having sufficient technical competence.

I have worked with Manuel Traut <manut@mecka.net>
(key 3DD87FCD3C06A76D0FC83E383A88669D54BA35B8) via Matrix, email and gitlab

right now.
