Hash: SHA256

For nm.debian.org, at 2026-08-06:
I support Darshaka Pathirana <[email protected]>'s request
to become a Debian Maintainer (with guest account).

I know Darshaka Pathirana in person for ~20 years,
and work with him both in our professional/work life (for more than 12 years),
as well as in the Grml project (being a Debian based live system) for many years.

I sponsored several of the package uploads for Darshaka,
he has sufficient technical competence.

Darshaka is active in the open source community (also locally where we leave),
and I'd like to see him also as official member of the Debian project.

I have personally worked with Darshaka Pathirana <[email protected]>
(key 8DF2271871E57DA5714C8EDE9BB6983DDD81AFEB) for >12 years,
and I know Darshaka Pathirana can be trusted to have upload rights
for their own packages, right now.
