For nm.debian.org, at 2019-03-06:

I have personally worked with Aniol Marti <amarti@caliu.cat>
(key 2A341FB6601406C144ADEEE4C4C3F43EC6F0514F) for 2 years.
He took over my lead on the system administrator team for
caliu.cat (that hosts several mirrors, including Debian) and
we keep in contact often.

Before that we had exchanged several mails because he asked me
how to setup a local mirror for Ubuntu install parties using
the toolkit I had devised some years ago.

A few months ago, knowing that the freeze was near and that
a package (Aegisiub) that he uses a lot was FTBFS and wouldn't
make it to buster, he asked me for help on how to proceed.
Then, he contacted the former Debian maintainer (who wasn't
interested in it anymore) and quickly adopted it, making a
patch that fixed the FTBFS. Finally he improved the overall
quality of the package and I sponsored his upload, which made
it in time before freeze. I only had to make some remarks and
show some examples, but all the work was made by Aniol.

Aniol is always resourceful, engaged and thorough in all that
he does, and after working closely with him I'm sure that he
can be trusted to have upload rights for his own packages.

Cheers!
Alex
