Application for ~ubuntu-desktop membership

[Ken VanDine]

This is a big +1 from me, Amin has been doing a great job looking
after firefox.  I haven't sponsored any of his deb packaging work, but
his snap work has been excellent!  I have been impressed with Amin's
methodical approach to the snap maintenance and his ability to keep up
with the aggressive Firefox release schedule without sacrificing
quality.

Cheers,
Ken
