While I can't say anything about his technical skills, I remember signing Jochen's key some time ago as requirement for his DM status. Back then he was already planning on ROS packaging and I'm happy to see, that everything worked out as planned. Apart from his technical contributions to Debian, I think it's also valuable to have more developers in Niedersachsen making it easier for new people in this area to join the project.
