Hi, "Trent W. Buck" <trentbuck@gmail.com> writes: > Petr Rockai has agreed to act as advocate. indeed -- I have been acting as a sponsor and a sort of co-maintainer with Trent on the darcs package. Trent has done a good job working on the package, migrating it to a major new upstream version. He also cleaned up the packaging considerably, in a followup effort. He has been receptive to my suggestions and has demonstrated ability to work without supervision -- I have learnt to trust him on packaging issues. Moreover, Trent has been active with upstream as well, which gives him a few bonus points. He has also contributed significantly to the fact that darcs 2 has made it into Lenny -- without his work on the blocker issues, it wouldn't have been possible. In addition to activity upstream, I have noticed him to communicate also with Ubuntu people about the darcs package, which is welcome as well. Overall, he gives me an impression of a cooperative developer with interest in his work. I know Trent is also active with other packages in Debian -- his other sponsors and/or co-maintainers might want to comment? To sum it up, I support Trent in becoming a Debian Maintainer -- and if he so decides, I would support him to continue the endeavour and become a Debian Developer (although I realize this is a laborious task). I am happy to be on a team with Trent -- it's been, and I hope will continue to be, a good experience. Yours, Petr. -- Peter Rockai | me()mornfall!net | prockai()redhat!com http://blog.mornfall.net | http://web.mornfall.net "In My Egotistical Opinion, most people's C programs should be indented six feet downward and covered with dirt." -- Blair P.
