Details from dpat:

  For nm.debian.org, at 2026-08-05:
  I would like to apply to change my status in Debian to Debian
  Maintainer, with guest account.
  I already applied for Debian Developer, uploading, but only later
  noticed that I never completed my DM process from 2019.
  I think it makes sense to first complete the DM process before
  continuing the DD process.
  So, I am Debian Contributor, with guest account since 2019-04-07 and
  use Debian since the early 2000. According to contributors.d.o my
  first contribution dates back to 2007. I maintain anytun, uanytun,
  kthresher + recap (with the help of mika and zeha. Thank you for your
  support!) since 2017 and I attended DebConf18 + DebConf26.
  I am also Grml-Developer and as such have a lot contact points to
  Debian issues.
  Please note, I am currently on vacation until mid of September, me
  responses might be delayed.
  Best,
   - Darsha (jkirk)
