I support Kai-Chung Yan <seamlikok@gmail.com>'s request to become Debian
Maintainer.

I have personally worked with Kai-Chung Yan <seamlikok@gmail.com> (key
B88A153ADD3D973F3B1FF79ADD1FAB8937FE9825) for more than one year,
and I know Kai-Chung Yan can be trusted to have upload rights for his own
packages, right now.

Together we have worked on packaging Android software for Debian as part of
the Google Summer of Code projects in 2015 and 2016. Kai-Chung is a member of the
Debian Java and Android Tools maintainer teams. He has prepared new upstream
releases and bug fixes for dozens of difficult Java and C++ packages. His packaging
skills are impressive and his technical work was always to the utmost
satisfaction.

Kai-Chung's work on core Java packages like the Gradle build system even
allowed the Java team to make progress on packaging non-Android related
software. He has shown many times that he understands Debian's core principles
and technical workflows. Kai-Chung is also a friendly and pleasant team member
to work with.

I think he would be a great asset for Debian.

Regards,

Markus

I corrected version to include the key:

For nm.debian.org, at 2016-09-05:

I have worked with Kai-Chung Yan <seamlikok@gmail.com> (key
B88A153ADD3D973F3B1FF79ADD1FAB8937FE9825 alternate spellings 殷启聪,
殷啟聰, Qicong Yin)
through two Google Summer of Codes (2015 and 2016) and on a related
project in Winter 2016, and I cannot recommend him highly enough for
joining Debian.  He is easy to work with, has solid technical skills,
works well alone and with others, and fully believes in the importance
of free software.  He has already been to DebConf, and even presented
the work of the Android Tools Team at the last one in South Africa.

I strongly believe he is ready for the full responsibilities and
rights that the Debian Maintainer status provides, and hopes that he
continues on to become a full Debian Developer.  I know Kai-Chung Yan
can be trusted to have upload rights for his own packages, right now.

I have met him in person at FOSDEM 2016 and signed his key.
