This seems like a reasonable thing to get taken care of, so let's do it. Thanks,

I admit 10 days for a guest account process between your submission and our reply is a bit long. But it's not really several weeks, and in general it's quite common that the delay is less than a week. I am happy anyway to submit a query for a guest account for s390x and aarch64 even though you solved your previous issue, in case you meet more issue with your work in the upcoming weeks. But do mind that you'll only get a one month access only to these arches, that you'll need to ask extensions if you have a need for it, and other hosts access on the basis of your issues. The pro for you will be that you will fall under the two last paragraphs of [0], which mean that you'll be able to just send RT tickets to get extensions or new hosts access, which will reduce further the delays (only the first guest account request requires a NM process).

At the time this request was filed, yes. The bug referenced above (1032168) only occurred on s390x during a package build. At this moment, I don't need it, because I was graciously given temporary access to a similar machine by Paul Gevers and I could debug the issue. Historically these sorts of issues have occurred maybe once per year. I understand if this is too rare to provide access so you can close this as not needing to be fixed but OTOH waiting several weeks to get access rights when issues do occur is not very convenient either.

Access to porter boxes to non Debian Members are given because there's a need, not in anticipation of a potential future need. Do you currently *need* acces to a porter box?

I'll need that for DSA to act upon your request. Ideally all of them because I can't know in advance what platforms are going to sprout bugs. But traditionally the problems have manifested on s390x and aarch64.
