Hey, thanks for looking into my application. I wasn't too sure what to apply for TBH, I wasn't sure is DM was a typical step before DD or the statement of a different intention. One of my sponsors suggested that I apply for DD. My prime motivation to apply for DD/DM is to not have to bother people to upload new versions of the packages that I maintain. DM would be totally fine. > Furthermore, I notice that your GPG key has no signatures: remember that > you'll need 2 for DD, but only one for DM (signatures or endorsements). Yes I will ask my sponsors if they would consider signing my key. It is a bit difficult with the ongoing pandemic to meet and sign keys in person. I have been signing all my emails and my packages with this key so there is some history recorded within Debian, I am hoping that this can be a sufficient proof for the time being. Do you maybe have suggestions? Cheers, -- Mathieu Mirmont <mat@parad0x.org>
