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

2026-07-28 18:33	tiago	Key consistency checks	-	Hello Juan, would be able to get another DD signature for this application? Currently you have 1 signature and 1 endorsement from someone working with you only for the 'past few months', and being the same person who signed one of your emails. Also being the only advocate so far. Usually we'd require a stronger set of endorsements or at least two signatures for uploading DD applications.	yes
