From what I can see [0], in the past six months you've sponsored about 83 uploads for (afaict): Aurelien Gerome Jeremie Corbier Cyril Brulebois Jeremy Bobbio Emmanuel Bouthenot Julien Louis Fathi Boudra Khalid El Fathi Gregory Colpart Ludovic RESLINGER of which about 52 were for Fathi. To me, that sounds like it meets the requirement of "sponsored 30 uploads in the last six months" that I suggested for being able to recommend a DM originally [1]. It seems sensible to me to have the recommendation take the form of a file that we can just dump directly into jetring. I was thinking something like this (for holger) looked sensible: ---cut-- Changed-By: Anthony Towns <ajt@debian.org> Comment: adding holger as debian-maintainer Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2007 18:25:59 +1000 Advocates: ajt - http://lists.debian.org/debian-newmaint/2007/01/msg00037.html kaol - http://lists.debian.org/debian-newmaint/2007/01/msg00038.html zobel - http://lists.debian.org/debian-newmaint/2007/01/msg00043.html tolimar - http://lists.debian.org/debian-newmaint/2007/01/msg00044.html sgran - http://lists.debian.org/debian-newmaint/2007/01/msg00044.html 93sam - http://lists.debian.org/debian-newmaint/2007/01/msg00047.html neilm - http://lists.debian.org/debian-newmaint/2007/01/msg00048.html damog - http://lists.debian.org/debian-newmaint/2007/01/msg00050.html KeyCheck: [output of keycheck.sh] NM-Page: https://nm.debian.org/nmstatus.php?email=debian%40layer-acht.org Action: import Data: [ascii armoured key to be imported] ---cut--- The required fields are Changed-By, Comment, Date, Action and Data; the others are just useful extra information for people who're trying to find out about the maintainer. The advocacy there is probably well above what should be necessary (it was an AM report, after all), but some brief comments on what they're like from various DDs who've worked with them is still probably worthwhile. Some brief comments to the effect that they'll follow the social contract and Debian policies, and that they understand how to keep their key secure might be worthwhile too. I guess Fathi's worked closely with Daniel Glassey (clucene-core), Gustavo Franco (desktop-base) and Mark Purcell (KDE extras) so some of them might have nice things to say about him that might be worth including. If any of the KDE team or Enrico (as his AM) have any comments, likewise. Anyway, what do you think about having a go at creating a jetring stanza something like the above for Fathi?
