For nm.debian.org, at 2026-10-20:
I support Nico Della Torre <nicoz91@ubuntu.com>'s request to become a Debian Maintainer.
I have been in the debian python team for a while, seen his contributions and I support him becoming a DM right now.

I have known him for a long time and he has always been eager to help and proficient in his work.

He intends to work within the python team/on python related packages and I think he has shown to be capable, often going beyond the minimal fixes needed but also improving the overall quality.

I have personally worked with Nico Della Torre <nicoz91@ubuntu.com>
(key 0456E8BC1DC0B027EF8D66A695493787F6F19F03) for many years, and I know Nico Della Torre
can be trusted to have upload rights for their own packages, right now.
