Ah, yes, I see some syncs.

The Dynamic PPU procedure is for amending the list of packages someone
has upload rights to. Paragraph 11 says:

So, yes, you should write an application, and get people who have
sponsored you to write endorsements. Add a link to the agenda wiki page,
and (if necessary) pick a meeting.

I suggest applying for PPU rights for your packages. As a Debian
Developer, we've already got a good idea of your skills. So, all we
really need to check is that you understand the Ubuntu schedule &
procedures.
