Hi Giancarlo, as per our TU bylaws [0] one must find two sponsoring _TUs_:

But as of [1] you resigned as TU. Therefore it appears to me that you cannot sponsor Martin.
Best regards, Frederik

hello,
i disagree with the premisses states here, the document says that for addition of a TU one must find two TUs to sponsor,
But we are not adding a TU, but a Package Maintainer. Gian is a package maintainer. so am I.
best, tomaz
Hi, The "TU / Trusted User" role is the old name for the current "PM / Package Maintainer" one. See the related RFC for the rename of the role [1]. The bylaws has been updated accordingly [2][3]. Technically speaking, if Giancarlo resigned as a TU, he is defacto not a package maintainer (as TU is simply the previous name of the current PM role). Although, I personally have no strong feeling about this. I just wanted to clarify the eventual TU / PM roles confusion.
