(resent ... this time signed :/) Hi, I agree with the others backing Andrea's application and agree with Enricos evaluation given below. For me Andreas work style and reliability has improved considerably over the past few month and I am confident he is now ready to become a DD. The areas I peered with him since then are mozilla extensions and he helped quite a lot on the gnome effort; there he took an important role interfacing with debian and helped a lot to get the work we did in ubuntu into debian (and more importantly vice versa). In particular - next to his thorough understanding of the technical parts of packaging - he appeared to be on top of the current debian policies and procedures.
