For nm.debian.org, at 2019-07-20:
I would like to apply to change my status in Debian to Debian Developer, uploading.

I believe my first contribution is bug #187019, in 2003. There as been a few since, mostly bug reporting/triaging, some packaging (I maintained tsclient for a while, did a few backports here and there, etc). [0]

Currently, while still working for a hosting company as a system/network engineer, I'm a Tails [1] contributor, maintaining OpenPGP Applet [2] as an "upstream" so it can be in Debian - where I also maintain it as part of the Pkg-Perl team - and can be pulled from there to Tails. That led me to being an active member in the Perl team.

I also participated in the Alioth replacement Sprint [3], where it became clear to me that I needed to actually step up and start the NM process, since not being a DD actually made me less helpful.

Attending DebConf every year since 2015 only reinforces the feeling.

I made a first application a while back, but my prospective advocates had not had the opportunity to review recent work and could not advocate me.

Since then, I also became an active member of the Go team, and you might have notice my name as the facilitator of a few BoF in debconf18 and debconf19 schedule.

My goal is to be a DD, as participating in Debian as a whole (and having voting right) is more important to me than upload rights. I would actually settle for non-uploading DD. However, I believe I would actually be able to contribute more usefully by being an uploading DD... ;)

I understand the traditional path is to become a DM first. However, in the Perl team at least, this status doesn't make much sense [4], that's why, after discussing it with a few people over the last few years, I'm applying directly as DD.

(Also, Holger has been bugging me about requesting this status change all night and wouldn't leave me alone until I did :P)
