I support Sébastien Noel <sebastien@twolife.be>'s request to become a Debian Developer, uploading.
I have worked with Sébastien Noel in the Games Team for many years.
More recently we discovered shared interrest for canbus/automotive technologies
where he provided substantial help in my efforts to package asammdf.

He as deep and broad tehcnical knoweledge; the kind of knoweledge needed to write
LD_PRELOAD stub to keep these 25 years old Loki binaries alive.

He as a good understanding of Debian packaging practices  
but also of the Debian project as a whole. 

I have personally worked with Sébastien Noel <sebastien@twolife.be>
(key E07B3CCBE73CD8EA6B65DA36CF13C21D2578B775) for years,
and I know Sébastien Noel can be trusted to be a full member of Debian,
and have unsupervised, unrestricted upload rights, right now;
I already delegated DM right to more than ten packages without an itch.

I support Sébastien Noel <sebastien@twolife.be> to become a Debian Developer,
uploading.

I have worked with Sébastien on packaging pcsx2 under the Debian Games team
and have sponsored his uploads. I've also looked at his other packaging work
and I believe Sébastien has sufficient technical competence to be trusted to
have full, unsupervised, unrestricted upload to the archive right now.

He's pleasant to work with and very receptive to feedback. I think Sébastien
would be a good addition to the Debian project.
