Welcome Khashayar Naderehvandi to the -dev team.

[Cory K.]

Everyone please welcome Khashayar Naderehvandi as our dedicated backporter!!

Khashayar has just recently shown up in our little corner of the world
but has quickly shown that he has the stuff to work with us and get
things done.

His attitude is a template for exactly the people we need. Friendly,
asks questions and open to learn. Not to mention that he already has a
great grasp of packaging already and has a little time on his hands.
We'll just help him fill in some gaps and show him how Ubuntu does
things. :)

He will be responsible for making sure the latest upstream packages are
in the development release and get them backported to current ones. (no
earlier than Hardy) The list of these apps is currently up for
discussion. Please wait for him to start that topic. Don't reply with
ideas here. ;)

He will also be coordinating things in our PPA where packages not yet in
the repo will be tested. Once they are in a normal archive, the will be
removed from the PPA.

So give him a pat on the back, buy him a pint, whatever. ;) And try not
to overwhelm him with "Please oh, please back port this!! and this!! and
this!!" :)
