2. Background
-------------
Applicant writes:
(from when he joined the pkg-perl group, November 2010)
I am a computer science student from germany and actively hacking
on the i3 window manager (which uses X11::XCB for its testsuite,
thus my interest in helping with the packaging). Currently I am a
Debian Maintainer (DM).
Elsewhere in the network, I found:
Michael is the upstream developer for several interesting projects,
including i3 (the window manager that has become my favorite in the
last couple of months)¹.
The first package he maintained in Debian is mxallowd², an
antispam-daemon using nolisting/iptables, for which he is also
upstream. He has several other nice projects listed on his personal
web page, some of which seem very interesting, some of which³ just
show Michael is an all-around geek who enjoys programming for its
own sake.
¹ http://i3wm.org/
² http://michael.stapelberg.de/mxallowd.en
³ http://michael.stapelberg.de/c128_kasse
I reviewed the bug reports sent and received by Michael. He
regularly answers in a timely fashion; the bugs he reports are
often accompanied with patches.
3. Philosophy and Procedures
-----------------------------
Michael has a good understanding of Debian's philosophy and
procedures and answered all my questions about the social contract,
DFSG, BTS, etc. in a good way. Michael committed to uphold the SC
and DFSG in his Debian work and accepts the DMUP.
4. Tasks and Skills
-------------------
Michael has a good understanding of the technical side of Debian.
He is maintainer of 10 packages (i3-wm, i3lock, i3status,
libanyevent-i3-perl, libnet-inet6glue-perl,
libprivileges-drop-perl, libtomcrypt, mxallowd, unworkable, wiipdf)
and has one more (all-knowing-dns) as a pending upload. He is a
Debian Maintainer and uploads most of his packages by himself, and
his previous sponsor (Christoph Haas) has expressed being more than
satisfied with his work.
All packages are in good shape.
Michael also answered my other questions regarding T&S without problems
and provided patches for RC bugs.
5. Recommendation
-----------------
I recommend to accept Michael Stapelberg as a Debian Developer.
