2. Background
-------------
   Applicant writes:

      I used a GNU/Linux system for the first time long ago, with Debian Potato
      2.2. For the first times, I always dual-booted with a famous proprietary
      system, and then I abandoned Debian completely. I continued dual-booting
      with different distributions (RedHat, SuSE), and then had a
      proprietary-only period. One cold night of December 2004, I completely and
      definitely switched to Debian GNU/Linux. Since then, I'm only using free
      software, and try to push it with colleagues, friends and relatives.

      I'm already maintaining quite a few packages in Debian, I started doing
      some packaging in 2006, just for playing a bit with it. Then I started
      getting more and more involved (first in pkg-perl, then in debian-med, now
      in debian-cli -- even if my team contributions have been slowing down due
      to lack of time and priority to packages where I'm the only maintainer).
      I'm volunteering my time because I do believe in free software, and
      because it's fun  :)
      Now I'm maintaining (among others) some widely used packages: gthumb,
      bash-completion (for which I'm also upstream), wicd.

      I'm also interested in the general infrastructure of Debian: I started the
      now-called "Web Sentinel" for the Debian Pure Blends (specifically, the
      Debian-Med one, then expanded, improved and totally rewritten by Andreas
      Tille).

3. Philosophy and Procedures
-----------------------------
   David has a good understanding of Debian's philosophy and procedures
   and answered all my questions about the social contract,
   DFSG, BTS, etc. in a good way. He committed to uphold the SC and DFSG
   in his Debian work and accepts the DMUP.

4. Tasks and Skills
-------------------
   David has a good understanding of the technical side of Debian.
   He is maintainer of a lot of packages, most maintained by him using his DM
   permissions. He is also upstream of some of his packages.
   The packages are in good shape. From my own experience I know that David
   reacts fast on bugs usually and is very responsive on irc.
   He also answered my other questions regarding T&S without problems
   and provided patches for RC bugs, contributed to devscripts and did a lot
   more positive things for Debian

5. Recommendation
-----------------
   I recommend to accept David Paleino as a Debian Developer.

I frequently interacted with David over the past years via the Debian Med
mailing list or directly and can second his acceptance.

Regards,

Steffen

I haven't reviewed his work for sponsoring, but I have more than once
asked him when he was becoming a DD. Finally, this is happening.
