Please apply for Debian Maintainership!

[Gunnar Wolf <gwolf@gwolf.org>]

Hi,

I'm just sending this over here so it can empower our team - we have a
good number of non-DD very active contributors... Just off my head,
Niko, Tincho, Gregor, Jeremiah, René... And surely, many others will
find this important:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2007/11/msg00004.html

Specially:

    If you are a non-DD who already maintains software in Debian via a
    sponsor, and you have a good knowledge of how to work in Debian, a
    gpg key signed by some DDs, and a proven track record, then you're
    the kind of applicant we're looking for to help us finish up our
    testing. If accepted you'll be able to upload your packages
    directly without bothering.

    To apply, talk to your sponsor or AM or any other DDs you know and
    work with to see if they think you're ready for this step --
    you'll need them to write a mail to the debian-newmaint list about
    what you've done that makes them think you make a good maintainer.

Also:

    If you're a DD who knows a non-DD that you think would make good
    use of the extra priveleges of a DM, you might like to talk to
    them and encourage them to apply.

Greetings,
