For nm.debian.org, at 2025-09-22:
I support Aquila Macedo <aquilamacedo@riseup.net>'s request to become a Debian
Developer, uploading.

I have worked with Aquila Macedo mainly on packaging work (particularly Ruby
packages) and on building our local community for around 7 years, and I
consider them as having sufficient technical competence.

Aquila’s involvement with the Debian Project started back in high school —
which is quite exceptional in the Brazilian context. He actively participated
in gatherings and conferences we organized in Brasília, always showing
eagerness to learn and a strong willingness to support newcomers.

He is one of the most easy-going and collaborative people I know, making it
truly enjoyable to work with him. I am proud of how much he has grown, both
technically and personally. His contributions to Salsa CI have been excellent,
and his packaging work has been consistently reliable.

I am confident that Aquila will continue contributing meaningfully to Debian in
the long term, and I believe he is fully prepared to become a Debian Developer.

I have personally worked with Aquila Macedo <aquilamacedo@riseup.net> (key
15D407B7843776118BAEDB8E3C7F6AF85A6CD440) for around 7 years, and I know Aquila
Macedo can be trusted to be a full member of Debian, and have unsupervised,
unrestricted upload rights, right now.
