I completely agree with Yaroslav; I also think that David has both the technical and the social skills to become a DD. Besides the already mentioned aspects I'd like to stress what I appreciate: - David has a careful and cautious approach, and prefers to ask for confirmation or re-check some documentation before doing something that might be wrong. - As a consequence David's packages where always in good shape when I reviewed and uploaded them. - David is very helpful and provides advice to others e.g. on #debian-mentors. > He is also experienced to work in a team (co-maintaining highlight > package, working with the pkg-perl team on several packages, nauty is > under Debian Science Maintainers). Right, we're working together in the pkg-perl team since 2008; David not only cares for the six packages where he's in the Uploaders field but has also helped to improve the "historically grown" framework for building packages from multiple upstream tarballs (before source format 3). He's also available for technical (or moral :)) support on IRC. > Therefore, I am advocating David Bremner for Debian Developer > position. I'm also advocating David Bremner as DD.
