  For nm.debian.org only, at 2024-09-16:
  I would like to apply to change my status in Debian to Debian Developer,
  uploading.
  With the goal of improve Debian on Mobile I started packaging KDE Plasma
  Mobile applications in 2023, now I'm part of the KDE/QT team helping with
  packaging and testing KDE applications on mobile phones. I've worked on
  adding Plasma Mobile support for Mobian and troubleshoting SELinux issues
  with Russell Coker. Additionally I've given demos of Mobian in my local
  user group and helped others setting up their Mobian devices.
  In the Rust team, I worked on packaging evremap and rnote, which involves
  packaging and patching many other crates. The effort is still on going
  and there is much to learn and work on. I intend to keep working on
  Debian for the foreseeable future, and I'd like to be a Debian Developer
  so I can upload independently and debug more effectively using Debian's
  infrastructure.
