Details from oldmike:

  For nm.debian.org, at 2026-04-01:
  I would like to apply to change my status in Debian to Debian Developer,
  non-uploading.
  I use computers since 1983. I use Debian GNU/Linux since 2002.
  I visit the DebConf in Heidelberg (2015) and Brest (2025) and several
  MiniDebConfs and Bug Squashing Parties.
  Promotimg Free Software is my hobby. I am a lawyer and interested in Free
  Software Licenses.
  Together with my wife I am the co-author of a book describing Debian
  packaging (https://salsa.debian.org/oldmike/dpb). I wrote a booklet about
  how to translate documentation with OmegaT together with my wife. It is
  concerned with the translation esp. of .tex and .nw (noweb) files.
  As a lawyer (Rechtsanwalt (Deutschland)) I wrote a program for german
  laywers, which is packaged for Debian (libreoffice-canzeley-client).
  I have found a great community within the Debian project.
