2. Background
-------------
Applicant writes:
"It was about 15 years ago, my first come to GNU/Linux and free software was
during my university. At the time, I did not know free software,
it was surprised me. Especially, GCC, TeX, Perl, Ruby, and so on.
I would let people to know its wonderful experience.
In the early days, my doing was only using free software.
Later, I want to return my taking from free software to it.
In Debian, I maintain gkrelluim (since 2010/05/23)
and pidgin-twitter (since 2010/09/20),
and co-maintain w3m (2011/02/21) and uim (since 2011/06/25).
I adopted uim from previous maintainer (sinse 2011/10/15).
I closed over 20 bugs of uim and w3m, some of bugs stayed about 7 years.
I forwarded uim and w3m bugs to upstream and discussed to fix it with them.
Since 2011/03/03, I am a Debian Maintainer.
In Debian JP Project, I helped to check squeeze release-notes ja.po
and developers-reference-ja 3.4.6 ja.po.
I squashed seueeze's 17 RC bugs.
After this, I work on maintain my own packages,
and help to translate and check official document for Japanese.
Moreover, I improve Debian's quality, e.g. bug squashing.
I want many people to know and use Debian and work together."

and provided an NMU for an RC bug, a QA upload and missing man pages,
and did bug triage on w3m.
