Details from alpernebbi:

  For nm.debian.org, at 2026-07-14:
  I would like to apply to change my status in Debian to Debian Developer,
  uploading.
  I have been a Debian Maintainer since December 2022 [1], primarily doing
  hardware enablement work for various ARM64 Chromebooks on kernel,
  initramfs and
  installer related packages [2,3] via pull requests to salsa.d.o
  repositories.
  Although I am capable in packaging work, I usually focus on upstream
  fixes and
  working on Debian-specific software, so I don't have many packages to my
  name.
  I have DM upload permissions for one package (depthcharge-tools [4]) that
  I
  authored and co-maintain with the Debian Python Team, and two packages
  (depthcharge-tools-installer [5], partman-cros [6]) that I co-maintain
  with the
  Debian Installer Team. More recently, I worked on upgrading PulseAudio to
  v17.0
  and pavucontrol to v6.1 before the Trixie release [7,8], which required
  upgrading the webrtc-audio-processing library to v1.3 [9] where I also
  needed
  to fix architecture specific build failures on i386 and MIPS.
  I have occasionally helped fix Debian Installer build failures, and
  worked on
  building it reproducibly. I want to do more work on the installer to
  improve
  and modernize it, but I usually don't feel confident and energetic enough
  to do
  so. Just to illustrate the scope: what I have in mind would require at
  least
  one upload to every udeb-producing package, so Debian Developer status
  would
  help with both the process and my confidence in it.
  Besides technical work, I regularly try to attend DebConfs and give talks
  and
  hold workshops, and so far attended those in Kosovo, India, South Korea,
  and
  (currently in) Argentina. I want to eventually organize a DebConf in
  Turkey,
  and I am getting more involved with like-minded people trying to gather
  up a
  local team for it, but don't know how the timeline will be. I'd expect
  being a
  Debian Developer would help with organizational work (if it is not
  strictly
  necessary).
