During that time, he has been making frequent uploads and taking over the maintainance of many packages, to the point that it's been difficult for me to keep up on reviewing his work :-) At the same time, my reviews have been finding progressively less things to fix, to the point that he could be reviewing *my* packages. Janoš has been thorough, technically apt and excellent to collaborate with. He has shown a deep understanding of the Debian project, its technical merits and policy as well as its philosophy and ideals. During the course of these months, he has solved a number of both technical and licensing issues in his packages, raising them with upstreams when needed, in the course of finding the best and proper solution. Moreover, we met in Bosnia, during DebConf11; Janoš was attending and was an active member of our community, collaborating with multiple people and trying to find new ways to contribute to the project. I am aware from our conversations with Janoš that he is also collaborating in a regular basis with several other members of the project. I am confident that if asked, more DDs would be happy to advocate him. On a final note, two months ago I advocated Janoš for a DM¹ (and, in fact, I've copied some parts of that mail here). I am aware that the Front Desk is suggesting a 6-month waiting period between becoming a DM and applying for becoming a DD. I would like for you to make an exception here as I believe Janoš is ready to become a DD. Janoš was ready for a DM much earlier in the year; the delay in suggesting it was my fault and I take full responsibility for it. I fully support his application to become a Debian Developer^WMember.
