2026-05-23 17:55	mendezr	Declaration of intent	-	I would like to apply to change my status in Debian to Debian Developer, uploading. I have been working on packaging and maintaining software across several Debian teams, focusing on unblocking the Chromium ecosystem in Debian. My main contributions include: - Packaging the Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) as part of the Debian Chromium project, currently under review by the Debian Chromium Team as a branch which I am maintaining going forward. - Getting siso into the Debian archive. - Driving the node-rollup v4 update within the Debian JavaScript Team, which required coordinating with the Debian Rust Packaging Team to add missing SWC ECMAScript crates to rust-swc-core. - Packaging dependency chains in the Debian Go Packaging Team for OpenTelemetry, its collector, and related packages. I'd like to become a Debian Developer, uploading, in order to independently upload the packages I work on and continue tackling dependency chains that span multiple packaging teams. Much of my work involves large software with deep dependency trees — CEF, node-rollup, OpenTelemetry — where being able to package and upload independently would significantly ease my ability to contribute. I have open ITPs and ongoing merge requests across the Go, Rust, and JavaScript teams, and plan to continue maintaining these packages and their dependencies long-term.	yes
2026-05-23 18:02	mendezr	Declaration of intent	-	Adding context that I didn't include in the initial report, it's operational infrastructure rather than packaging work, but it may be relevant for evaluation: I maintain debian.vejeta.com, an unofficial Debian repository with a CI/CD pipeline that publishes CEF builds and related packages (including CEF clients: stremio-gtk and brow6el) across multiple architectures. It has been used by downstream users while integration into Debian proceeds.	yes
