Then it happened that I became involved in sequoia packaging at the end of 2023 and since them I've been sponsoring around 100 rust sources from him into unstable. Those uploads were mostly all flawless and simple, however and to be honest, I cannot how much this was due to debcargo... ;) From what I've seen when interacting with him online as well as at two other events recently I can say that I wholehearty recommend and support him becoming a Debian Developer, uploading. However due to the high amount of automation with debcargo I cannot say that I'm confident in his ability to upload any (other) package (eg non rust packages), so I'm honestly not sure whether I should formally advocate him to be able *to upload any package right now*, however I do trust him to know what he's doing, so in that regard I also trust him to become a DD and act responsible. (eg I'm also able to upload all 30k packages in main and generally I don't do that. ;) So long story short: I fully support Alexander Kjäll's NM application and hope he'll be a DD soon! Thanks for all your good work, Alexander! -- cheers, Holger ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ holger@(debian|reproducible-builds|layer-acht).org ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ OpenPGP: B8BF54137B09D35CF026FE9D 091AB856069AAA1C ⠈⠳⣄ “We live in capitalism.
