Of the many fine developers I've worked with in the Ubuntu community over the past four years, Clint has surprised me more than any other by the fact that he was not already a Debian developer before getting involved in Ubuntu. He not only has a clear appreciation for the importance of Policy and the DFSG in making Debian work as well as it does, he also has an impressively refined understanding of the mechanics of that Policy, and tenaciously tackles the bugs that makes users' lives miserable, no matter how difficult those bugs are to resolve. I have not worked with Clint on any Debian packages directly, but I have no doubt that his contributions to the drizzle and mysql server packages are of as high quality as his work in Ubuntu, and I selfishly recommend that Debian take full advantage of his talents by giving him upload rights. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
