That very strongly qualifies someone technically.

This is new ground for us, and that's a good thing! I'm not asking just
to be difficult, but because Romain is the first non-MOTU or
non-Canonical person where we are looking at this. Being Canonical isn't
really relevant except that such a person would be surrounded by folks
steeped in Ubuntu-ness :-). So, thanks Romain for catalyzing this
discussion!

I think we should ask the MOTU Council and Tech Board to comment, and
see what sort of guidelines they would like to establish for someone who
is clearly technically competent (a DD and/or an upstream in the
relevant package) to participate in a specific package in Ubuntu.
