Hello! I have personally worked with Jeremy Bicha <jbicha@ubuntu.com> in the pkg-gnome team where he has been an outstanding contributor for a sufficiently long time and I know jbicha having full unsupervised unrestricted upload access to the archive would benefit us in the team and likely also Debian as a whole on an even wider scale than before. I'm aware Jeremy is also very active in Ubuntu and GNOME upstream. I find it that Jeremy is very good at interacting with upstream as well as avoiding/resolving conflict or disagreeing opinions, which means he has atleast two skills that I think we should have more people like in Debian. For any AM tasked to question Jeremy I would say you can skip any regular packaging related questions. If you want to give him some challange you might want to focus on a more complicated philosophical question or ask him specifically about Debian infrastructure and procedures related to those (as he mainly uploads to Ubuntu and AFAIK has only very limited usaged his DM privilegies because of the pkg-gnome streamlined sponsorship workflow). But to be frank, please consider just fast-forwarding jbicha through the entire process because any potential knowledge-gap he might have I'm more than sure we can discuss and handle those within the pkg-gnome team which has many very experienced DDs that would happily assist jbicha if needed. Regards, Andreas Henriksson
