Hello,
Long story short - I am insterested in becoming a Trusted User and taking care of packages related to D programming language.
I have been using Arch Linux for last ~5 years but that does not really matter as I have never spent any considerable time maintaining packages. What does matter though is that I am quite active member of D community and familiar with minor details about its current infrastructure and have personal interest in improving user experience in that domain.
I have been maintaing reference D compiler package (dmd2) in AUR before its inclusion into main repositories and kept contacting Sven-Hendrik with various improvement proposals after. At some point in the relatively long mail thread he has suggested to make a TU application so that I can take over those packages and maintain them directly - which is the primary motivating reason behind this mail.
As my general competence level as a packager relatively low I am planning to solely focus on domain I am proficient with - D compilers, libraries and notable applications. Also contacting with D maintainers in other distros to ensure reasonable consistency.
Regards,
