Knowing Daniel for many years now, and while I haven’t sponsored his 
work in the recent years, I have no doubt in his integration skills and 
carefulness work, testing and impact analyses before proceeding any 
uploads to the archive. I’m fully trusting him he will apply the same 
care having upload rights to the desktop package sets on the components 
he is responsible for.

Cheers,
