I wholeheartedly support Pau's application.
ACE+TAO packages were lagging behind upstream because of a lack of time.
Pau stepped in to help in October, 2009[1]. Despite the complexity of
the task (62 packages), he helped filling the gap and bringing ACE+TAO
packages back on tracks with upstream within two uploads.
I do believe his enthusiasm also helped attracting new people to the
team.
His interaction with upstream[3] helped reaching current situation
where Johnny Willemsen, a very active upstream author, is involved in
the packaging effort[4] as a proxy, fast-tracking Debian changes into
upstream's repo[5].
His sound, not too Debian-centric, opinion[2], the quality of his
packaging, and his will to get things going would be a very valuable
addition to Debian.
