Yes. NM is not about status. It's about being able to contribute more and better. > (Also, Holger has been bugging me about requesting this status > change all night and wouldn't leave me alone until I did :P) Do not yield to blind pressure. You could say, Holger bullied you into NM. But, I'm quite happy he did. I am *not* officially advocating you, as we have not worked together. But, for the record, Clément has been a great, supporting guy. He helped me out of a misery hole last year at DC17 when my servers back home were undergoing hardware failure (and I was sad and worried for two days). He has an excellent technical grasp and the ability to diagnose problems, plus, he is a most compassionate member of the community who goes out of his way for others to be able to enjoy DebConf. Please, somebody else, do advocate him!

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA512 For nm.debian.org, at 2019-07-20: I would like to apply to change my status in Debian to Debian Developer, uploading. I believe my first contribution is bug #187019, in 2003. There as been a few since, mostly bug reporting/triaging, some packaging (I maintained tsclient for a while, did a few backports here and there, etc). [0] Currently, while still working for a hosting company as a system/network engineer, I'm a Tails [1] contributor, maintaining OpenPGP Applet [2] as an "upstream" so it can be in Debian - where I also maintain it as part of the Pkg-Perl team - and can be pulled from there to Tails. That led me to being an active member in the Perl team. I also participated in the Alioth replacement Sprint [3], where it became clear to me that I needed to actually step up and start the NM process, since not being a DD actually made me less helpful. Attending DebConf every year since 2015 only reinforces the feeling. I made a first application a while back, but my prospective advocates had not had the opportunity to review recent work and could not advocate me. Since then, I also became an active member of the Go team, and you might have notice my name as the facilitator of a few BoF in debconf18 and debconf19 schedule. My goal is to be a DD, as participating in Debian as a whole (and having voting right) is more important to me than upload rights. I would actually settle for non-uploading DD. However, I believe I would actually be able to contribute more usefully by being an uploading DD... ;) I understand the traditional path is to become a DM first. However, in the Perl team at least, this status doesn't make much sense [4], that's why, after discussing it with a few people over the last few years, I'm applying directly as DD.
