For nm.debian.org, at 2026-02-23:
I support Gabriel Filion <gabster@lelutin.ca>'s request to become a Debian
Maintainer. I have worked with Gabriel Filion from about 10 years now.
Although I may have never directly sponsored his packages, I am familiar with
his Debian work through our frequent local community meetings, where we discuss
(and work on) Debian packaging and other topics. He was part of the DebConf17
organizing team in Montreal. We also shared the same workplace for over a year,
during which time we worked directly with Debian+derivatives infrastructure in
a corporate environment. I learned a lot from Gabriel during that time.
Not only does Gabriel have the technical competencies to become a Debian
Maintainer (and very soon I hope he applies to become uploading DD), he also
has the social skills. I appreciate his generosity and patience in teaching me
things he knows well, as well as his ability to learn quickly when necessary.
I have personally worked with Gabriel Filion <gabster@lelutin.ca> (key
0D47F1D03740F712AA8C630AA28C297118E9F23D) for about 10 years, and I know
Gabriel Filion can be trusted to have upload rights for their own packages,
right now.
