Hello Bastian, Antoine,

I wanted to introduce myself properly and give you a quick picture of
the work I have been doing in the dotnet-team neighbourhood.

On the mono side: I diagnosed the #1135240 regression (mono-runtime
stopped shipping the /usr/share/cli-common/runtimes.d/mono hook that
cli-common expected) and prepared a fix as 6.14.1+ds2-3 on the
debian/unstable branch.  Antoine has kindly agreed to review that
upload, and I look forward to his feedback.

On the libgdiplus side: I filed merge request !3 on the Salsa
repository with three commits:

  - sync packaging to the 6.1+dfsg-1.2 archive state
  - fix the debian/rules issues behind #1119466, #1112294, and #1045809
  - fix vendored googletest compatibility (#1135544)

Build and piuparts tested.  I noticed Bastian's recent 6.1+dfsg-1.2
NMU, which is great to see.  If you have had a chance to look at !3,
I would welcome your feedback or a note if the approach needs adjusting.

Longer term, I am working toward Debian Maintainer status and would
like to be a regular contributor to dotnet-team packages.  My immediate
focus is mono and libgdiplus, and I expect to look at cli-common once
the first two are in better shape.

Thank you both for your ongoing stewardship of the Mono stack in Debian.

Regards,
James
