2. Background
-------------
Applicant writes:
I'm a 25 year-old student in Heidelberg, Germany. I do study both
mathematics and physics, but like math more.
I started using Linux 1998 or 1999 (my brother asked me to try it),
first using SuSE Linux and later switching to Debian.
Since ~1.5 years I started working part-time as a system administrator
for the Institute for Mathematics. We use Debian there which I was
already familiar with. I got interested in working on Debian and
joined the Debian Games Team. After starting programming more in Perl
for a web application to manage tutorials, I also joined the Debian
Perl Group. It's fun to work in both teams :-)
For now I plan to keep looking after the packages I already maintain
and to help keeping the Perl modules up to date.

Among other things, Launchpad & CPAN accounts.
3. Philosophy and Procedures
-----------------------------
Ansgar has a good understanding of Debian's philosophy and
procedures and answered all my questions about the social contract,
DFSG, BTS, etc. in a good way. Ansgar committed to uphold the SC
and DFSG in his Debian work and accepts the DMUP.
4. Tasks and Skills
-------------------
Ansgar has a good understanding of the technical side of Debian.
He is maintainer of a huge number of pkg-perl and pkg-games
packages. The best I could do was coming up with some remarks on
his packages, since they're all in a good shape. He also took over
upstream maintenance of the at package, and seems to deal
gracefully with other distributions (mail/patch exchanges with
Marcela Mašláňová <mmaslano@redhat.com> come to mind).
Ansgar also answered my other questions regarding T&S without
problems and provided patches for RC bugs.
Ansgar has been a DM since december 2009. Back then I already
advocated him, as well as members from pkg-perl:

5. Recommendation
-----------------
I wholeheartedly recommend to accept Ansgar as a Debian Developer.
