-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 For nm.debian.org, at 2026-07-14: I would like to apply to change my status in Debian to Debian Developer, uploading. I have been a Debian Maintainer since December 2022 [1], primarily doing hardware enablement work for various ARM64 Chromebooks on kernel, initramfs and installer related packages [2,3] via pull requests to salsa.d.o repositories. Although I am capable in packaging work, I usually focus on upstream fixes and working on Debian-specific software, so I don't have many packages to my name.
I have DM upload permissions for one package (depthcharge-tools [4]) that I authored and co-maintain with the Debian Python Team, and two packages (depthcharge-tools-installer [5], partman-cros [6]) that I co-maintain with the Debian Installer Team. More recently, I worked on upgrading PulseAudio to v17.0 and pavucontrol to v6.1 before the Trixie release [7,8], which required upgrading the webrtc-audio-processing library to v1.3 [9] where I also needed to fix architecture specific build failures on i386 and MIPS. I have occasionally helped fix Debian Installer build failures, and worked on building it reproducibly. I want to do more work on the installer to improve and modernize it, but I usually don't feel confident and energetic enough to do so. Just to illustrate the scope: what I have in mind would require at least one upload to every udeb-producing package, so Debian Developer status would help with both the process and my confidence in it. Besides technical work, I regularly try to attend DebConfs and give talks and hold workshops, and so far attended those in Kosovo, India, South Korea, and (currently in) Argentina. I want to eventually organize a DebConf in Turkey, and I am getting more involved with like-minded people trying to gather up a local team for it, but don't know how the timeline will be. I'd expect being a Debian Developer would help with organizational work (if it is not strictly necessary).
