Yes. Well, I have a mentor (Asheesh Laroia) but am also working on
getting DM status so I can upload releases myself. I am meeting a DD
later this week to get the requisite PGP sig.

There is also a dkms module in the works. I'm not sure exactly what state
it's in at this point (see ceph-client-standalone.git) as I haven't tested
it myself, but it would be great if that could hit sid as well!
