Policy and Procedures
---------------------
Rune and I discussed the Social Contract and the DFSG. 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. He also explicitly agreed to abide by the DMUP. He
also answered some questions on copyrights and licenses to my
satisfaction.
Policy and Procedures Check Passed
Tasks and Skills
----------------
Rune has two packages that have been sponsored and are already in
debian. He has adopted tuxtype, and packaged lostirc, a minimalist IRC
client. I took a look at both packages, and was happy with the quality
of the packaging. His advocate is Tollef Fog Heen, and he has this to
say of mihtjel:

I have talked a lot with mihtjel on the #debian-devel IRC channel, and
he gets the concepts quickly. He is asking a lot of questions and
fixes the things I comment promptly. I am sure he will make a fine
DD.

All in all, I think Rune shows the skills necessary to be a debian
developer and will make a good addition to the debian developer
community.
