Yay. So he now is skilled enough, but he never remembered the ugly hack
he put in the archive with the help of a sponsor.

That's a bit weird. He produces a package with a major bug, ignores
*all* hints by lintian and is now rewarded for that by getting upload
permissions? Please consider this my urgent request to remove him from
the DM keyring. Also, perhaps this event is a sign that the current
review process is not perfect yet.
