For nm.debian.org, at 2021-06-24:
I support Hugh McMaster's <hugh.mcmaster@outlook.com> request to become a
Debian Maintainer.

I have worked with Hugh McMaster on unixodbc, freetype, yaz and several
other packages for over three years now, and all of my interactions with
him make me confident about his technical competence.

I have overseen him making quite a few NMUs, doing library transitions
and other not-so-trivial things, all while interacting with the project
at large.

I'm impressed by the patience he has shown in his social interactions, as
well as his persistence in carrying forward the changes he cared about,
going to great lengths to appease other maintainers and groups.

I have personally worked with Hugh McMaster <hugh.mcmaster@outlook.com>
(key 3A20813CA57946868C5152115AC61074C5E81BC4) for 3 years, and I know
Hugh McMaster can be trusted to have upload rights for his own packages,
right now.

I support Hugh McMaster <hugh.mcmaster@outlook.com>'s request to become a
Debian Maintainer.

Over the last year, I have worked with Hugh McMaster on libexif several
times, sponsoring his package to sid, stable, and even to oldstable for
several CVE fixes. I've never had to point out any problem with the package
and thus I consider him as having sufficient technical competence.

He has always been prompt in getting back and it has been a pleasure to
interact w/ him always.
