Application for Juju Charmer Status

[Marco Ceppi]

Hi Jose!

Thank you so much for your submission to be a charmer. Not only have you
been a huge asset helping community members but have done quite a lot of
work in the audit and in patching charms. That said, I've noticed a large
delta in your reviews of things which were missed and covered later by
another reviewer. Typically we want to see a much shorter delta of missed
items in review for a charmer application.

While you don't have a vote from me, I'm simply going to abstain my vote in
either direction as I really don't wish to diminish the amazing work you've
done so far and continue to do but simply wish to highlight some concerns I
have and think maybe re-applying again after some more time might be better.

Marco
