I support Antoine Lassagne <antoinelassagne@gmail.com>'s request to become
a Debian Maintainer. I have worked with Antoine Lassagne on blender (including
packaging a new upstream major version), embree, imath (packaging a new
upstream version and preparing a transition). This work is happening in
packaging teams (Antoine joined the PhotoTools team and Multimedia team). I am
also familiar with his work at the vulkan-memory-allocator package (which
someone else is going to sponsor). This work happened over several months, and
I consider Antoine as having sufficient technical competence.

I have personally worked with Antoine Lassagne <antoinelassagne@gmail.com> (key
296E927EB5441315C8FBA1ACB73336C4CE0C6CDC) for about 8 months, and I know
Antoine Lassagne can be trusted to have upload rights for the packages he
(co-)maintains.

I support Antoine Lassagne <antoinelassagne@gmail.com>'s request to become a Debian Maintainer.
I have worked with Antoine Lassagne on spirv-reflect, vulkan-memory-allocator
and some other vulkan packages, for 8 months and I consider him as having sufficient technical competence.

I reviewed and sponsored Antoine's packages as part of his upstreaming work.
While working on this, I had some interesting discussions with Antoine about
the differences in packaging policy between Debian and Ubuntu.

(key 296E927EB5441315C8FBA1ACB73336C4CE0C6CDC) for 8 months, and I know Antoine Lassagne
can be trusted to have upload rights for his own packages, right now.
