Hi All,

I was away from my GPG key during the weeked, so I couldn't send the signed email before. I have been bugging Martin to join the staff as a package maintainer for years now.

Not only he has been super helpful to a lot of Arch users, but he opens a ton of issues and contribute to a lot of projects. One being pipewire, for example. I confirm my sponsorship.

Regards,
Giancarlo Razzolini
