Summary for William Irwin <wli@holomorphy.com> Identity -------- Bill didn't have a signed GPG, so I put him in contact with Developers in his town. He met Debian Developer Karl M. Hegbloom half an hour ago and has a signed key now: pub 1024D/0046BCA2 2000-07-11 William Lee Irwin III <wli@holomorphy.com> sig F1CC6A7A 2000-11-05 Karl M. Hegbloom <karlheg@debian.org> Philosophy & Procedures ----------------------- Bill agrees with the Social Contract and the DFSG. His summary of these documents shows that he understands them. Bill was able to explain the problems with Pine's current license, told me about NMUs and knows about the procedure of orphaning and adopting packages. Bill also had no problems pointing out the difference between main, contrib and non-free, and free speech and free beer. Tasks & Skills -------------- Bill works as a Linux kernel programmer and has much programming experience. He wants to adopt a couple of orphaned packages. For the skill test, Bill prepared a package of 'hschat' for me which was lintian clean. It only had some minor issues (forgotten to remove some unneeded files created by debhelper) which Bill corrected immediately. Bill certainly has enough knowledge to adopt several orphaned packages and fix outstanding bugs in them. Recommendation -------------- I recommend that Bill be accepted as a Debian maintainer. -- Martin Michlmayr tbm@cyrius.com
