Re: Request for sponsorship my debian-packages on mentors

[Andrew Lee <ajqlee@debian.org>]

Dear Otto,

Thanks. Good to know there is https://flight-deck.debian.net for new comers.

You’re right, we usually require more history before granting team
access. I found he has already uploaded so many packages into mentors,
so I granted access to reduce the sponsorship bottleneck.

For your concerns, I am kindly asked Mikhail here:
- Always use Merge Requests for review.
- Stick with your own ITP packages for now.

I’ll review the merge requests to ensure it aligns with our standards.

Regards,

-Andrew
