Hello,
I advocate Iain R. Learmonth to become Debian Developer, uploading.
The current status of Iain R. Learmonth is Debian Contributor.
Advocacy text:
I'm aware that Iain seems to fast-speed from a user to DD but I see good
reasons to support this. As Iain wrote we met at the Debian Med sprint in the
beginning of this year. I had the impression that Iain learned very quickly to
do high quality packages. I have sponsored several different packages and can
confirm he is doing a good job.
The reason why he is applying for an uploading DD is that he dived into the
hamradio team which is really short in DDs with upload permissions. Since Iain
has proven to be honest about the things he is doing I can perfectly understand
his attempt to widen the bottleneck in this team. I personally like it if
people enter Debian in Debian Med and than widen their focus, find out where
their work is needed and start filling existing gaps.
He also cared for infrastructure like PET and thus has understood that Debian
is not only adding packages to the pool but quite some QA infrastructure exists
and can be actively used.
Besides the fact that I trust in Iains technical skills he very quickly adopted
the habit to help other team members in Debian Med (which I observed on our
list) and most probably also in hamradio team (which I just obtain from his
mails). He actively followed my tracks in mentoring newcomers - which is in my
view a good sign to become a DD (if only every DD would show this good habit
;-)).
In short: I'd support Iains application to become a DD even if he was a DM
only for a short period of time.
Kind regards
Andreas.
