Nominate @Patryk27 #87
Conversation
Hi, I'd like to nominate myself - I've been submitting pull requests since 2020, started by packaging [netris](NixOS/nixpkgs#85382) and then went on to improving [LXD](NixOS/nixpkgs#89540), [packaging](NixOS/nixpkgs#91182) and [maintaining](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pulls?q=author%3APatryk27+pcloud) pCloud (which, amazingly enough, required fixing a bug in [patchelf](NixOS/patchelf#544) itself!), and overall I've been implementing various quality of live improvements [here](NixOS/nixpkgs#207466) and [there](NixOS/nixpkgs#354755). I've given [a talk about my Nix-driven blog](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7wqXN-7ebw&t=6695s) during NixCon 2024 in Berlin, so it's possible we've already met irl! Outside of Nix, I'm the maintainer of Rust's [AVR backend](rust-lang/rust#131651), with commits and merging rights to [LLVM](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pulls?q=author%3APatryk27) - just adding as an extra "in case it helps" mention 😇 Couple of weeks ago I decided to shift my priorities from working on custom projects to helping the communities I'm a part of more - having committer access to nixpkgs would allow me to make a greater impact as I intend to focus on reviewing and merging both ongoing and stale pull requests, since it seems there's always not enough people willing to review stuff! Thanks, Patryk :-)
That's very much welcome, we're looking forward to your increased engagement! We were impressed when reviewing your contributions, but for prospective committers we focus on substantive reviews of others’ work, as the main task of a committer. Looking at your reviews (excluding version bumps to unifi + pcloud) we don’t feel we have enough information just yet to approve based on our guidelines. We’d be happy to review your application again in the future after you’ve built up a larger body of substantive reviews. |

Tough, but fair - thanks for the feedback! |

Hi,
I'd like to nominate myself - I've been submitting pull requests since 2020, started by packaging netris and then went on to improving LXD, packaging and maintaining pCloud (which, amazingly enough, at one point required fixing a bug in patchelf itself!), and overall I've been implementing various quality of live improvements here and there.

Couple of weeks ago I've decided to shift my priorities from working on custom projects to helping the communities I'm a part of more - having committer access to nixpkgs would allow me to make a greater impact as I intend to focus on reviewing and merging both ongoing and stale pull requests, since it seems there's always not enough people willing to do that!
Thanks, Patryk :-)
