I, Skia, hereby apply for core-dev.

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.
