Here are the comments I added to Dustin's wiki page.  In summary: yes,
please.  :)

I've sponsored many of Dustin's uploads to "main", and I've been very
happy with his work. As I said for his MOTU application, he's
conscientious, and that's important. In addition to being familiar with
the workflows and schedules of Ubuntu, Dustin knows when to ask for
help. His work in the initramfs code has me convinced he knows how to be
effective when touching so many subsystems at the same time. I'd be very
happy to see him with "main" upload privileges.
