Hello, I advocate Jari Aalto to become uploading DD. Advocacy text:
Indeed, Jari has been very helpful. He sent me patches to move away from dpatch to the new 3.0 (quilt) format, which I had no time to work out myself. This was very helpful. He also helped me with the packaging of yum (as it is often asked: no, yum isn't a replacement of apt in Debian, it is just very useful to setup some RPM based distro in a chroot). He worked out the upload of version 3.4.3-1 into Debian experimental, and managed to find the reason why I was stuck with it (eg: a bug upstream which was fixed only on the upstream Git, not on the released version, if I remember well). Also, I have noticed that Jari maintains an impressive number of packages (87 on his QA page). None of them have open RC bugs. That is to me, a proof that he is capable of doing the work. Also, I don't think it is reasonable to not grant upload rights to someone who maintains that many packages in Debian. For the above reasons, I think Jari would be a very valuable asset in Debian, and that he should be made DD.
