For nm.debian.org, at 2017-05-20:
I support Ross Gammon <rossgammon@mail.dk>'s request to become Debian Developer, uploading.
I have worked with Ross both as a sponsor (for gramps) and together in the
pkg-multimedia team since about 2014.
He has shown great packaging skills, and a mindset apt for a member of our
community.

I have personally worked with Ross Gammon <rossgammon@mail.dk> (key
FBEE0190904F1EA0BA6A300E53FE7BBDA68910FC) for 3 years,
and I know Ross Gammon can be trusted to be a full member of Debian, and have
unsupervised, unrestricted upload rights, right now.

He should have applied for becoming a DD a long time ago.
I'm really glad that he finally applied!

I support Ross Gammon <rossgammon@mail.dk>'s request to become Debian Developer, uploading.
I have worked with Ross Gammon on a lot of node-* packages,
and also some packages outside pkg-js team.

I have personally worked with Ross Gammon <rossgammon@mail.dk>
(key FBEE0190904F1EA0BA6A300E53FE7BBDA68910FC) since 2015,
and I know Ross Gammon can be trusted to be a full member of Debian,
and have unsupervised, unrestricted upload rights, right now.

That said, I'm really happy with his work and his packages, he is caring a lot of the packages
he maintains, he cares about autopkgtestsuite, about keeping Ubuntu in sync with Debian.
I happily gave him DM rights as soon as he got his DM application approved, and I don't
remember even after looking at his packages about having to nitpick something about his work.
He knows Debian procedures, how to handle transitions, how to wait in case of freeze (or
use experimental), how to approach with other people, copyrights have always been
carefully checked in case of new packages and a lot more.

Thanks Ross for joining the Debian community!
