My official MOTU application

[Stephan Hermann]

Hi Scott, Hi Motus,

even when I stepped back from my Ubuntu Duties, I strongly propose to 
catch Scott as Ubuntu MOTU.
He has the knowledge about wine and his packages (which are in Ubuntu 
mostly unchanged)
Scott has further a good upstream connection towards the wine core 
developers.

Regarding the fact, that some motus were assigned just because to get 
some packages into Ubuntu (I think it was compiz or beryl, right?),
I really propose that Scott has a short and easy going for Ubuntu MOTU.
 

Thx.
