Hi, I co-maintain some packages in Debian (shishi and gss) and would like to apply as debian maintainer so that I can help upload packages to solve bugs in the BTS faster. I'm the upstream author/maintainer for a couple of other packages (gsasl, libidn, gnutls, libntlm, etc) as well and try to help with debian issues concerning those packages too. I acknowledge and agree with the Debian social contract, free software guidelines, and machine usage policies. I have chosen not to apply as debian developer at this point because I have hesitations about being a "full" member of an organization that help non-free software; through the contrib/non-free sections, shipping non-free firmware and the like. Still, the amount of useful contributions debian makes to the free software community is significant, and the alternatives to debian are usually even less free or too insignificant. So I feel comfortable helping debian where I can. Cheers, /Simon
