About your message above, I disagree with several points, starting by
"love" word. Love is a very good reason to maintain packages, but not the
only condition to become a DM.
You said "I do not agree with this, because who can say, it is the
sponsors who accompanied my development with the packages I have in
Debian." Now you have 8 packages and 2 QA works. Searching in all tracker
pages linked to you, I can count 45 uploads of which 4 were made by your
advocate. You already had 9 sponsors up to now and, recently, I was one
of them. So, I think I can say anything.
In DebConf 19, to answer to a question from a student, I quoted in the
workshop that "packages are made orphan by several reasons". So, I quoted
the game Assault Cube, saying that it is a very hard to maintain.
Immediately you were shown interested in maintaining it. After DebConf, I
saw your RFS for Assault Cube (revision 1.2.0.2.1-1, already uploaded to
Debian). I decided to see the package to try upload it. I was confused
because the package nor had "QA upload" line and wasn't closing the bug
#728193 and the maintainer was Debian Games Team. I needed some minutes
to investigate and, after this, I gave up to review the package. Today,
the package is in your name as uploader (Games Team is the maintainer),
but with an ITA from you, since Jul. 29 and several comments in your
RFS's for this package (you didn't closed the ITA in 1.2.0.2.1-1 and
don't clarified the sittuation in your changelog, about adopting, keeping
orphan, etc.).
You said "I don't think it's fair that a single (fondu) package thinks I
don't have the skills to continue my work with packages that are in
Debian, where you have never reviewed them." 1) I never said "you can't
work with packages in Debian". I said "IMO you can't be DM for now",
because you need to improve your skills. 2) I already reviewed your
packages in Debian and a very recent upload was made by me". 3) fondu is
a very simple package and I can use it to check if you have skills or
not. Reading your recent RFS and the comments from other people also will
help know your abilities.
I have all packages uploaded in DebConf in my machine (around 25
packages) and I would like to tell about fondu. You used around 6 hours
(or more), in two days, working over this package[1] to make a simple
update. I remember that you asked me about some trivial issues in
packaging. I told to you about a possible override (debian/rules) to
solve a particular problem. After 2 hours trying you said me solved the
problem using other way and show me a file renamed by you from
debian/install to debian/install.links. I told you this file was
impossible in packaging. So I told you the final solution, after a check
in package. You fixed the problem, but forgot to change the changelog '*
Renamed file "debian/install" to "debian/install.links".'. I asked to
change it and some other inconsistent things. You sent the fondu for me 3
times, after my comments about the package is not ready for upload. The
dates are: 2019-07-19 22:05 -0300, 2019-07-20 18:43 -0300 and 2019-07-20
23:58 -0300.
[1] The workshop was made, officially, in 3 days, during the first week
of DebConf19. However, I was available all days in a room (B204 at day
and Antonina, in hotel, at night) and several people that was students in
workshop attended this room daily to make QA uploads.
I would like to see one more Brazilian as DM (I am Brazilian too), but it
is not possible now.
Conclusion: I worked recently with Carlos and I need to be honest with
Debian Project and keep my opinion: I disagree with his candidature to
become a DM. I am sure that he has several difficulties to maintain his
own packages (see also all RFS's comments to confirm it).
