I know Ondrej only from Debian Python Modules Team. He is working on scientific Python packages (he graduated in physics) in our team. His packages are: petsc4py, scipy and sympy (he is also one of upstream authors of this one) - all of them are well maintained. I didn't have to do much before uploading, see [1], [2] and [3]. > Is someone currently sponsoring his packages, or are all uploads > being done by other team members? I'm sponsoring all packages that he has in DPMT repository. I will add dm-upload-allowed field only to packages that are in our repo, not that I don't trust Ondrej, I just think DM's work should still be controlled. > What's he done that's earned your trust that he should be a DM? I just think that Ondrej is one of best skilled non-DD team members [4], he really knows what he's doing and deserves to have upload rights. > How long has he been involved in working on Debian? He is using Debian since 2001, I'm sponsoring him since at least half a year. > What does he still need to learn? Dunno, his AM will check his knowledge more carefully, all I know is that he can maintain Python packages by himself, specially the scientific ones.
