For nm.debian.org, at 2021-12-15:
I support Marius Gripsgard <marius@ubports.com>'s request to become a
Debian Maintainer. I have worked with Marius Gripsgard on Lomiri upstream
and Lomiri packaging for Debian and also the package btop for 18 months
and I consider them as having sufficient technical competence.

For the past 18 months, I have worked with Marius Gripsgard on getting
the Lomiri operating environment into Debian. Marius mainly worked on the
upstream side providing Lomiri components that build and work on Debian
unstable. He is a very skilled C++ and Qt/QML developer.

As Lomiri is the operating environment in Ubuntu Touch (which Marius is a
core developer of), Marius has excellent expertise on creating and
maintaining DEB packages. Under my supervision he will now start
translating this expertise to official Debian packaging.

I have personally worked with Marius Gripsgard <marius@ubports.com>
(key 9BAE683E99C32552D76F9E83BAF9CEC3F6922789) for 18 months, and I know Marius Gripsgard
can be trusted to have upload rights for his own packages, right now.

For this past work, Marius Gripsgard sent mails using the email address marius@ubports.com
which is the one they're using on nm.debian.org, and they signed their work and
email using a GPG key with fingerprint 9BAE 683E 99C3 2552 D76F 9E83 BAF9 CEC3 F692 2789.

I've made sure that he is able to decrypt encrypted messages sent to this key
and that he is able to sign messages with the same key.

Due to the long-term interactions we had, I'm convinced that Marius Gripsgard as he
presents himself on nm.debian.org is the rightful owner of both email
marius@ubports.com and GPG key 9BAE 683E 99C3 2552 D76F 9E83 BAF9 CEC3 F692 2789.

Signed with key 9BFB AEE8 6C0A A5FF BF22 0782 9AF4 6B30 2577 1B31
