I support Carl Keinath <carl.keinath@gmail.com>'s request to become a Debian Developer, uploading. I have
worked with Carl Keinath on hyprland packages in the Debian Hyprland maintainers team since September 2025,
and I consider them as having sufficient technical competence.

Over the past year, Carl and I have formed the Debian Hyprland maintainers team, worked together to salvage
all of the hyprland dependencies, package new upstream releases, and package new libraries and programs from
the hypr ecosystem. I have granted DM permissions for some of these packages and notice that Carl has been
keeping them in excellent shape.

While we've never met in person, all interactions with Carl have been pleasant and respectful whether on IRC,
BTS, or Salsa. Carl also shows great initiative and technical competence in improving package quality,
including adding autopkgtests, fixing salsa CI issues, addressing bug reports, and forwarding patches
upstream.

I have personally worked with Carl Keinath <carl.keinath@gmail.com>
(key 258E9BF2AB5576F2C5C0949A2C376EADE7855D90) for 343 days, and I know Carl Keinath
can be trusted to be a full member of Debian, and have unsupervised, unrestricted upload rights, right now.

I support Carl Keinath <carl.keinath@gmail.com>'s request to become a Debian Developer, uploading.

I have worked with Carl Keinath on a bunch of packages in the Python team and several C++ libs since early 2025 and I consider them as having sufficient technical competence. Over time, I have granted DM permissions for most of these packages and noticed Carl keeping them in excellent shape.

While we never met in person, interaction on the Team's IRC channel, the BTS, and via private email has consistently been pleasant and respectful towards both me and other contributors.
