[Advocacy statement for nm.debian.org, 2017-08-25]

I fully support Christopher Knadle <Chris.Knadle@coredump.us>'s request to
become a full project member as an uploading Debian Developer.

2 years ago already I advocated Chris' DM application:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-newmaint/2015/05/msg00010.html
and what I wrote there still holds, i.e. he does excellent technical work in
a cooperative way.

Since then, I granted Chris upload rights for mumble, and as I was and am
still subscribed to the package in tracker, I could follow him taking care
of the package in all necessary aspects: new upstream releases, keeping the
packaging side up to date, fixing bugs, interacting with bug reporters and
upstream, investigating difficult corner cases, etc.

I also noted that Chris had an eye at mumble's dependencies and helped out
there when problems arose, and that he always tries to support other Debian
contributors wherever he can.

Additionally we've been in contact via email and met at several DebConfs,
where our chats always should me that Chris shares Debian values and has
the necessary technical and social skills to become an uploading DD.

Therefor I support Christopher Knadle <Chris.Knadle@coredump.us>'s (key
885AEADC783E1F842E97B82F1E759A726A9FDD74) application and confirm that I
believe he can be trusted to be a full member of Debian, and have
unsupervised, unrestricted upload rights, right now.



Cheers,
gregor

I support Christopher Knadle's application to become a DD. He has been
maintaining the mumble package for 5 years and now has a good understanding
of Debian. We collaborated to upload mumble backports and interacting with
him was a pleasant experience.
