Hi Utkarsh, Tong, It seems to me, judging from outside (and without having actually seeing the work you've done) that you don't have too much experience working together. This can be problematic, especially if the work was done in private and in the context of a team collaboration, for example. > Tong has been a Debian user since before I wasn't even born :) and has been a DM since 2018! > I believe making him a DD would be a net-win overall and would also help in him helping others! \o/ > > I have personally worked with Tong Sun <suntong001@users.sourceforge.net> (key A77985AD72B4CA08D8C5BF79885FDAB331FED834) > for a couple of months now and I know Tong Sun can be trusted to be a full member of Debian, and have unsupervised, > unrestricted upload rights, right now. I really appreciate the work Tong (and all the volunteers, for that matter) do for Debian, and I hope he will take this as a positive criticism, but I disagree with Utkarsh here. I think Tong would benefit from more experience with packaging, bug fixing, and other related work, before applying to become a Debian Developer. I understand the desire to strengthen your ties to the project, and I strongly believe that everybody should be aiming to do that, but I also believe that this is a process that takes its own time. Sometimes we need more practice in order to make sure that we will do a good job when the access to the whole archive is granted to us, and that is absolutely fine. I would like to finish by saying again that I really hope Tong does not take this message as a discouragement, because it is not. Please, keep up with your work and the experience will come naturally.
