Hello, I advocate Florian Schlichting to become uploading DD. Advocacy text:
Florian is a member of the Debian Perl Group since over a year now. He was very quick to learn the written and unwritten rules and documented and undocumented tools of Debian at large and the Debian Perl Group. In the meantime he is (co-)maintaining ~ 150 packages and has touched many more. In this 12+ months Florian has seen and done all aspects of maintaining packages: updating to easy and complex new upstream versions, fixing simple and RC bugs, dealing with users, upstream, and his fellows in the Perl group. Altogether he is an important pillar of the pkg-perl group since many months. I highly appreciate Florian's technical knowledge, his diligence, and care for details (also in (a?) package(s?) outside the Perl group that I've sponsored). He's always accessible, jumps in where help is needed, and the interactions with him were always very pleasant for me. Since a couple of month - Florian has already started to "switch sides" and help others on IRC or review their packages very competently; - I didn't find any mistakes in the packages he prepared for upload. So I think it's about time that Florian becomes an uploading DD in order to enable him to upload his own packages and those of other not-yet-DDs, and I'm happy to advocate him for this role. Cheers, gregor (Disclaimer: we're not using the DM concept in the pkg-perl team since it doesn't really work for teams/co-maintenance.)
