I fully support Aryan Karamtoth <[email protected]> request
to become a Debian Developer, with unrestricted upload permissions.

I worked with them, both as a mentor, sponsor and upstream, since
at least as far back as February 2026. Probably earlier than that.
(EDIT: We actually started our PGP-signed exchanges in September 2025)

On a technical standpoint, they are fully qualified to join our team for good.
I followed them handling tricky stuff like upstream license changes resulting
to a mixed license, including having to move the Debian package to another
component in the archive.

On a human standpoint, this is someone I am always happy to work with.
I could not have hoped a smoother transition for the packages Aryan adopted
that I used to care for.

So once again, I support Aryan Karamtoth <[email protected]>
(PGP key 0x7A7D93082BD19BAFA83B7E34FE9007B8ED640421) request to become
an uploading Debian Developer without any further delay. They are going
to be a great addition to Debian as a whole.
