This requirement has been approved by Housekeeping Robot <nm@debian.org> 4 years, 9 months ago.

For nm.debian.org, at 2020-05-25:

I would like to apply to change my status in Debian to Debian Contributor, with guest account.

I am preparing the Debian packaging of the upcoming 19.0 release of Kodi mediacenter (https://kodi.tv),
and its addons as declared in debian-multimedia mailing list:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-multimedia/2020/05/msg00006.html

With Kodi and its binary addons repository (nearly 90 repositories up to date in my personal space on Salsa:

https://salsa.debian.org/basilgello-guest

and will be a dozen more), I'd like to be able to build releases targeting all platforms supported
by Debian and use a people.debian.org's ftp for repository.

Currently a single round of packaging Kodi and its addons takes ~3 hours on my buildbot, so for 10 platforms
it will take more than 1.5 days to proceed.

I am in touch with Kodi's current maintainer, Balint Reczey, and have already filed several RFS for Kodi dependencies.

Sincerely,
Vasyl Gello
