-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 I've recently been appointed as Michael Crusoe AM for his process, more than a year after it started. I have exchenged over the Philosophy and Procedures with Michael, and in the same time, I gave a look at his NM process and his contributions to the project. Michael's procedure mostly hanged over the AM process part for around a year, as Michael and his AM didn't manage to find the time to try having the process done. Some may find this bad, but at no time does it mean that Michael stayed idle. Indeed, in the last year and a month, Michael had done a lot of things for Debian. As for an example, he got 365 uploads in the archive (more than I did in the past two years and a half), of which he signed by himself 312 as a Debian Maintainer (still more than I did in the past two years and a half), and I feel that this is the best proof that Michael doesn't need to be a Developer to be a proficient Contributor. And that's because he's such a great Contributor even having limited rights to the archive that I think the Project *needs* to have Michael as a Developer before he gets the idea of not going forward with his application. I therefore decided that, not being any kind of masochist, I wouldn't even attempt to review all the packages Michael actually maintains (the vast majority being co-maintained), and after having a look at a few he maintains on his own, I decided to reduce the T&S part to a strict minimum, to keep the process optimal. Michael has a clear and relevant understanding of the project's Philosophy and Procedures, and his contributions are more than what we need to understand that he knows very well how to handle technical things for the project. Also, from the little I exchanged with him, although he tends to be very concise (whilst I tend to enjoy verbosity), he also seems very nice, which is a good point too! A good understanding about the project, its philosophy and procedures, and technical readiness being the requirements to become a Debian Developer with uploading rights, and being nice not being a red flag, I consider that my job as an AM is done: I agree with Michael Crusoe's advocates, that he should become a Debian Developer with uploading rights as soon as possible. Cheers. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEESYqTBWsFJgT6y8ijKb+g0HkpCsoFAl6vD5YACgkQKb+g0Hkp CsoP/g/+I3y191/GQ1wI9SU36X/ulovMdTQxSKM5wVb+IH1ViWOZKq/UNarWWvq6 aA+Zybh6vESHUdn42m+TxHy84HKZ9opOJjCGzLvqHSwhyhX1jaFcHtb72u+mCqPC OhFEgvKcGkDzP7EK4LeQ6bRJlAdWNWlQyOL5IAOF3gMmRldqEn4p9oMJFE1yzD3X toULh5zU0O9kv2Urqb+KBk7udw6IwwpmYcomJvmFrreNRsYRbxfZgTLGefW8juKA 5H9hnFFKOF8ikwJZvbm3dUpg/gPRZHNdlgnxVhdkMvQIu8ZywVNUOLl/IgnZR/K4 tZGUn/HkiZB6niuux7VPHK3PfvZrbUWonamUA7mTAE5mpJBOvM0HSTQfZm3UD4+c hbKrogB06bquh7ageiKzSe3Un8mJZAMCIWXDT4LCDkz8y3FuoFhYmaz1lzh3a7tc u2Tx7R2XUTq7RvZ25fcklkjt7F/mEvB0pGpL8GXTAx2kF5qAvVdXVeAeNG7eoQx3 jMCaixiR5WWRmgEJ5xZY12AKT/7i3ZKX2/97nyJ13Sz7m6i2q2qtvIQqjVALOpg7 We1xYmkxRG84wuGU417IjxAxtmKBG4nLrNd3PbkF+ISieVG4wQxbYBGy697B+OdY ZGhAxvN+sFatiLy+sK4N2Yx0lxBXKvF6NaCGIRRcaP4xvEMTES8= =qfdq -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
