For nm.debian.org, at 2017-08-25:
After looking at Michael Hudson-Doyle <michael.hudson@ubuntu.com>'s
contributions and after exchanging some emails to get to know him a bit better,
I agree with the advocates that Michael can and should indeed be a Debian
Developer, uploading right now.

Michael Hudson-Doyle's bio:

I'm Michael Hudson-Doyle, born and raised in the UK but living in New Zealand
for the last 9.5 years. I first installed GNU/Linux in (I think) 1998 -- it was
Redhat Linux 5, and if I remember right, I just missed the pain of the
transition from libc5 to glibc. Ancient history! I had a bit of a dabble with
OS X on my personal machines for a while, but I've been linux only for a long
while now.

I've worked for Canonical for over 10 years now but I've only really been doing
a lot of packaging/Ubuntu work for the last 3 or 4 years.

Part of my reason for wanting to work more on Debian is work-related, as
obviously Ubuntu is mostly Debian and making Debian better makes Ubuntu better.
Making changes in Ubuntu only is both technically and morally (if that's the
right word) painful. I always want to fix problems in the right place, whether
that's upstream or Debian or wherever! On a more personal level, I'm committed
to the idea of free software and Debian is obviously one of the beacons of the
whole movement.

In Debian, my main areas of interest are related to Go and Python; I already
maintain the golang compiler packages in Debian and Ubuntu and want to help
more with the ecosystem of packages in both languages (this is one of the
reasons why DM status is a little frustrating: updating one package may require
updating a few others and requesting sponsorship of each change or upload
rights for each package adds friction to the whole process). I don't really
have any specific goals beyond keeping these packages usefully current but who
knows where my interests will take me :-)
