-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 I would like to update my status in Debian from `Debian Maintainer` to `Debian Developer, uploading`. I have been contributing to Debian since 1999, and I have maintained several packages, including `dvdauthor` [1] and `ogmtools` [2], for many years. I have also introduced Debian as an operating system for controllers in several companies since 2008, establishing the build infrastructure (mini-buildd, aptly/reprepro) and packaging most of the necessary software [3][4]. This involves providing training and documentation on packaging [5]. Since being a Debian Maintainer, I have packaged `gdbuspp` [6] and `openvpn3-client` [7], with several ITPs still open. A large part of the systems I have been developing and maintaining are using `GStreamer`. For these systems, I've been backporting the latest stable `GStreamer` releases to the last Debian stable release. I guess I've been doing that for 10-15 years [8][9]. Because of this experience, I have rolled into the GStreamer Maintainers in Debian and I have been the main Debian package uploader for these packages for about 18 months now [10]. With the release of trixie, it would make sense to contribute backport work to `trixie-backports`. Having upload rights would also avoid to be dependent on a single developer in the GStreamer Team to grant upload rights, a situation that resulted in us missing the trixie freeze for `gst-plugins-bad1.0-contrib` due to key expiration from one of the usual uploaders [11]. As a contribution to the Debian quality checks I was able to contribute a test for lintian [12].
