-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 I support Douglas Andrew Torrance 's request to become a Debian Developer, uploading. I have worked with Douglas Andrew Torrance on several packages in R and science teams Doug is already doing a lot of work on several packages, and all the packages I have reviewed for him have been of very high quality. On most occasions, I would upload his packages as-is, or with very minor reviews. The kind of packages Doug maintains, are also, admittedly not easy to maintain - for instance macaulay2, linbox, qepcad, phcpack (latter two in NEW at the time of advocacy) etc and often involve a wide variety of languages and build systems, becoming harder to package, however Doug has been able to maintain these very well. Not only that, he also does upstream work for some of these packages, making the upstream ecosystem better as well. I have also seen Doug fixing bugs quite regularly, and quickly, and asking for help whenever he is not sure and/or stuck (something we expect from all contributors :)) He also incorporates any reviews that I leave, and is friendly and constructive. Doug also has quite some history of contributions, with his first upload dating back to September, 2013 which is more than nine years ago! With the solid technical competence that Doug has, coupled with working in a contructive way and fixing things quickly that Doug has demonstrated for many months, I have no doubt that Doug should be a DD now, and that he would be an amazing addition to the project. I have personally worked with Douglas Andrew Torrance (key 803CE41F4DC252ECB5E5F1B9D12B2BE26D3FF663) for many months, and I know Douglas Andrew Torrance can be trusted to be a full member of Debian, and have unsupervised, unrestricted upload rights, right now. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEPpmlJvXcwMu/HO6mALrnSzQzafEFAmFUVzIACgkQALrnSzQz afFQWRAAo3xMQhTY6MDKYvzadClZWxE01+MwvP6/PH5O6aoU2mosqfg3slGcTFZ+ OFOYt9QrDK+ALk8bv0df0pRYT6mKJRUGx3tsT6sAvqODXMLZeksMCdDKYLIvCpKF SsN6LRMzPHjN42VTCO2JE6aTVJRPPcQlqhnTFj1qoIA/PKZG19hwMyFQz89B11AG x7A7QcgXXbCGRId3gMemV3v0FxGwFAH6X2AdfsgvC9iI/3xxPAh0DVD3OMEfhG43 gxQmDAoadT2IN7qQ+ZDa0LWJZW1a4ox45Cpcx/i9mHgK5z+JBEaldq59XnDLho7g YZU2EsAFS6szK59ilDrvzB0qoO33bO2suLh0QEldxayOrbA4OKck3rA3TwJE2eXC od4luEffxfY25xpyQikwHjSqFE715r4tkd/XRLkaDTxDn/6qUdbtNlhVJWoV760D x4agsolAaY7oJuf+1TCcoaPBmgT/VTXxDInmSJZDOXJFCSucWys/Sz2pTQpTOJEZ 9hM6CHIOUv8UOnlgM7XyoznXTkUAmcRht4Becj7qymqNUk6MkDWiY8bLcQYoXos8 veGUjhtqKq8uW7C0IaTcpHLpiwa4+f9zZpgTOYxLrBMFr0OE90agy5xi7tzmWm9C 7loxyMAbfoUei+/6ecpUclMk5mEvCYwBA8FocWFNVYd36X3j+t8= =n0h7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
