-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 - From Michael Tokarev <m...@tls.msk.ru>
For nm.debian.org, at 2023-07-05: I support Blair Noctis <n...@sail.ng>'s request to become a Debian Maintainer. I have worked with Blair Noctis on numerous rust crates and general rust packaging and ecosystem for past few months. He has good expertise and understanding in how rust packaging works and how it integrates into the rest of debian packaging, and gave me a few lessons about packaging situations which I weren't able to think myself even after 15+ years of being a DD. Rust ecosystem is new still, and involves various interesting combinations of versions of packaged rust crates when one dependency is updated, causing a chain effect on other crates, and it's sometimes not obvious how to handle it in a way to avoid massive breakage. He's one of the few people who actively works with the rust ecosystem in debian and knows how to do this, helping others in the process. It would definitely help if he will have upload rights at least for the (rust) packages he packaged for debian. I think he has excellent technical competence in this matter. I haven't worked with Blair personally, but I did verify that the person who applies for DM here #1135, the person who worked with me and with others on IRC where we (virtually) met, and the person who does the rust packaging work, all own this gpg key: Blair Noctis <n...@sail.ng> key 59D84D44CCD0E82647AEDA29C21D9AD423A39727 subkey B8F221192007C37D9BA614FC2C89AF5FFD1C767C Thanks, /mjt -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEEe3O61ovnosKJMUsicBtPaxppPlkFAmSlsf0ACgkQcBtPaxpp PllFKgf/YNDsPRIIf5yYyna3HWD7vPdS7aO/+52k/0H5oWH/DaKN1WcK7qOooC8p hFuxl296cdISVf7IpmzwPyKsR8qurmxz/vB0WGn7C3r8R/HY5alxm75vVQfuN222 7ZE+hvtl/IqgF+9KmQD57IoMKSknlbfSGLbo+QBZTNaNhJZDb76jmM6M3Y0/RCU+ +qM1VbeTVmHQCGpnxpLk48hBzvM/KeIQn0z+ftto2Le2QhMV3OwofP2JKCzFWzS+ 2LLVIFeFyIbmdJpr7q2A4Hie+pz2nF40pMRlpK1aeOzyXThyU50p/Y34xf+SN1Im 8hofJPiEyn5o8rvtY8/4V/MqFfNcRw== =Z/fe -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Michael Tokarev (via nm.debian.org) For details and to comment, visit https://nm.debian.org/process/1135/ -- https://nm.debian.org/process/1135/
