2026-07-02 14:39	ronysousa	-	-	I would like to apply to become a Debian Maintainer. I have been working on QA packages, improving their packaging, fixing bugs, addressing Lintian issues, adding autopkgtests, and collaborating with upstream whenever possible. I am currently adopting the mpt-status and ips packages, and I would like to continue maintaining them and contributing to other QA packages. I would like to update the packages I maintain instead of requiring a sponsor for every upload. This will help me contribute more efficiently to the Debian QA effort. Finally, this is also an important step toward my long-term goal of becoming a Debian Developer with upload rights.	yes
