I have worked with speps on a number of things and I find him to be capable
and competent. If Thorsten didn't sponsor him I would have.

I also never fully figured out why we insist on "real" identities or make
it difficult for people like Xyne to participate freely. In fact, I don't
think we have that as a requirement. You simply need to have a key and to
sign your application, so that we can verify your other prior activities
and create a hypothetical profile out of them. Displaying a real identity
is a bonus.

I believe our web of trust is flexible and works well. The final master key
signature requires a real verified identity. The other keys are there to
just show that most developers "trust" you to release packages. You may or
may not verify yourself, but if you don't you won't get the last signature.
It's a fair policy.

Anyway, good luck!
