I am applying because:

  • I'd like to be able to officially join the slightly understaffed Release Team.
  • I'd like to help smoothen the release process by being able to upload some bits by myself.
  • I'd like to be able to push some improvements to general tools like MoM.

Proposed Migrations

  • I'm regularly being affected packages stuck in proposed during Foundations' Thursday meetings. Working with those usually involves retriggering autopkgtest, sometimes finding the right triggers for the tests to pass, and more rarely a fix to be uploaded.

  • As part of my work on the autopkgtest infrastructure, I also regularly run retry-autopkgtest-regression for massive re-run of tests, sometimes involving shenanigans like adding a particular trigger for big sets of packages, or even running them with all-proposed=1.
