= Full Name =
Richard Hughes
= Qualifications =
I currently maintain libunique, gnome-power-manager, gnome-color-manager, upower, gnome-packagekit, PackageKit, shared-color-profiles, shared-color-targets and co-maintain argyllcms and few other packages. I'm the upstream maintainer of most of that lot too.
I also work for Red Hat UK in the desktop group, and have worked on Fedora since fc1.
= Rationale =
I'm a frequent upstream contributor on quite a few GNOME modules and infrastructure packages. It would be really useful to be able to upload new versions to rawhide of stuff I'm working on, and to upload fixes to packages that I've just fixed upstream. This is especially true for the gtk3 and GNOME3 changes that are needed for f14 and f15.
I used to be a provenpackager some time ago, but apparently the list was dropped and I have to re-apply. I'm hughsie in #fedora-desktop if you want to verify anything. Thanks.
Mailed to the sponsor list for feedback.
Replying to [ticket:393 rhughes]:
Are all these actions really covered by the provenpackager policy? IMHO a more common ownership of packages would be nice, but afaik it is not yet the case.
Despite this, +1.
+1 from me
+1 from me as well, richard is certainly competent and trustworthy enough.
Sorry about this delay. By the policy, you're approved.
