Hi, I have worked with Jerome in the past three years in the Debian Science team on packaging dependencies of the mathematics software SageMath. He is maintaining more than 10 (of the roughly 140 required) SageMath dependencies, among them large projects such as Singular and some of its own dependencies. This alone demonstrates a large determination for Debian and free software in general, since working on a grand goal can be less rewarding than choosing smaller tasks (SageMath is still not in Debian). Nevertheless all these packages are well maintained and in a good state. In discussions he has always been friendly and professional. His packaging skills have already been mentioned in the four previous advocacies of other DDs and I have nothing to add here. I fully support Jerome's application for DM.
