I support Nicolas Peugnet nicolas@club1.fr's request to become a Debian
Developer, uploading.

I have worked with Nicolas Peugnet on the maintenance of the docker.io
ecosystem, specifically docker-buildx and docker-compose, for approximately one
year (since February 2025). I consider him as having sufficient technical
competence.

During our collaboration, Nicolas has demonstrated a strong grasp of the Go
packaging landscape within Debian. A notable example of his technical autonomy
was when he correctly identified missing dependencies required for our
packages—specifically golang-github-r3labs-sse—and proceeded to package and
upload them independently to the archive. This proactive approach significantly
eased the maintenance burden of the container tools stack.

Furthermore, Nicolas has proven to be highly responsive to Debian bug reports,
including critical issues. He reacts quickly to Release Critical (RC) bugs, as
demonstrated by his prompt handling of #1098392. His ability to diagnose issues
and interact constructively with the bug tracking system gives me confidence in
his diligence as a maintainer.

I have personally worked with Nicolas Peugnet nicolas@club1.fr for
approximately one year, and I know Nicolas Peugnet is ready for the Debian NM
process.
