AM Report for Ryszard Lach -------------------------- Applicant Name: Ryszard Lach Current Email: rla@id.pl Debian Account: rla@debian.org forwarded to rla@id.pl Summary: I am happy to recommend the acceptance of Ryszard Lach as a Debian Maintainer. Notwithstanding his key-signing, I think that he will make a good addition to our family. Identification -------------- The Applicant has provided the following GPG key (attached): pub 1024D/05792F34 2000-11-29 Ryszard Lach <siaco@id.pl> sig 05792F34 2000-11-29 Ryszard Lach <siaco@id.pl> sig 28A51B73 2000-12-04 [User id not found] sig 538BA298 2001-01-05 [User id not found] sig 60F41216 2001-01-31 Marcin Owsiany <porridge@pandora.info.bielsko.pl> uid Ryszard Łach <hostmaster@id.pl> sig 05792F34 2001-02-05 Ryszard Lach <siaco@id.pl> uid Ryszard Lach <rla@id.pl> sig 05792F34 2001-02-19 Ryszard Lach <siaco@id.pl> uid Ryszard Lach <postmaster@id.pl> sig 05792F34 2001-02-19 Ryszard Lach <siaco@id.pl> sub 1024g/5443F089 2000-11-29 sig 05792F34 2000-11-29 Ryszard Lach <siaco@id.pl> It is signed by Marcin Owsiany, who is a Debian developer. Unfortunately, Marcin did not physically meet Ryszard and did not physically inspect Ryszard's government-issed ID. Marcin did ask of and receive from Ryszard a signed image of Ryszard's ID. I asked Ryszard for the same signed image and I include that with this report (to DAM and Front-Desk only). I have informed DAM of this particularly odd situation (there are some other complicating factors wrt Marcin's key) and I leave it to his good judgement as to how to proceed. I have chastised both Marcin and Ryszard regarding how their keys have been signed. Both now seem to understand that how they went about getting their keys signed violates our web-of-trust. Identification Check Passed (kind of) Policy and Procedures --------------------- Ryszard agrees with the Social Contract and the DFSG. Over the exchange of a couple of emails, he demonstrated to me that he understands the principles and extent of these documents, and that he is aware of the responsibilities of a Debian maintainer. His answers to my questions on copyrights and licenses convinces me that he knows what is "free" and "non-free". He had a little confusion as to why TeX would be acceptable, but once I explained the reasoning to him, he quickly grasped the answer. I'm impressed by his answers. They were all well thought out and thorough. Policy and Procedures Check Passed Tasks and Skills ---------------- Ryszard wants to maintain packages. I have reviewed his work on the packaging of libapache-mod-gzip-1.3.14.5. It took several email exchanges for him to get it right, but he got there: mostly problems with Build-Depends and some lintian errors. Nevertheless, I think he's getting the hang of it, and I think that he'll be diligent on his future packages. Task and Skills Check Passed -- Luca Filipozzi [dpkg] We are the apt. Resistance is futile. You will be packaged.
