Details from syed:

  For nm.debian.org, at 2026-04-03:
  I would like to apply to change my status in Debian to Debian Maintainer.
  I have been a Debian Contributor since April 2025. My journey with Debian
  began largely through self-learning. During this time, I have developed
  and improved my Debian packaging skills with the help of my package
  sponsors.
  I currently maintain 12 packages in Debian. Some of the notable ones
  include alien, enca, rdiff-backup-fs, and ssmtp, which I have worked on
  to salvage both downstream and upstream.
  My primary contributions to Debian involve QA work, where I have fixed
  release-critical (RC) bugs and ported packages to newer API versions
  (e.g., fuse2 → fuse3). I have enjoyed every challenge involved in
  reviving old or unmaintained packages.
  I aim to expand my maintainer portfolio and focus on salvaging and
  adopting packages that need attention.
  Therefore, I would like to continue my Debian-related work more formally
  as a Debian Maintainer.
