I support Nilesh Patra <npatra974@gmail.com>'s request to become Debian Developer, uploading.  I have worked with Nilesh Patra in the Debian Med project on lots of packages as well as some packages in the R and Go packaging teams for at least one year (probably longer.  Nilesh has done a lot of pretty good work, like creating new packages, fixing lots of bugs in existing packages, wrote autopkgtests (before, while working as GSoC and afterwards) and even teached newcomers.  He has earned my full trust and currently I simply grant him upload permissions as DM (at least one package per day, sometimes more).

I have personally worked with Nilesh Patra <npatra974@gmail.com> (key 3E99A526F5DCC0CBBF1CEEA600BAE74B343369F1) for a long time time.  In the Debian Med COVID-19 hackathon he started to join our regular video conferences very regularly so I have regulare "face-to-face" meetings.  I know Nilesh Patra can be trusted to be a full member of Debian, and have unsupervised, unrestricted upload rights, right now.
