   I strongly support Sean's application to be a DM. He's hard working, a
   quick learner, but most importantly I think he gets why the integration
   and trust mechanisms provided by distros are still important, despite
   the many alternative software distribution mechanisms available.

This is all still true, but in the meantime Sean has gone from from
being a mentee to being a partner in managing the emacs addons
packaging team. It's not an exaggeration to say that without Sean's
efforts, this team would not really exist.

A quick look at 

  https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=spwhitton%40spwhitton.name&comaint=yes

shows that Sean is active in several other areas of packaging,
particularly Haskell.  This kind of broad activity will benefit from
the ability to upload independently, and to sponsor.

I trust Sean's technical judgment, and perhaps more importantly, I
think he has excellent abilities to work/play well with others.

I fully support Sean's application to be a Debian Developer,
uploading.
