= Guest Access to porter machines = People who are not DDs but are working on software in Debian are able to obtain access to porter machines for short term (1-2 months) in order to resolve port issues and the like. == non-DMs == People who are not yet DMs or NMs will need to find a DD who is willing to sponsor their request. People requesting access should already have a track record of working on Debian for some time. The guest applicant should supply several details (listed below) to this DD, and the DD will sign this (clear signed, not PGP mime) and open a ticket in RT (mail to admin@rt.d.o, put 'Debian RT' somewhere in the subject - see wiki.d.o for more info). This signing and resending is a sponsorship by the DD that the guest account should be granted access to Debian resources, and should be regarded as such. === Information guest needs to supply to sponsoring DD === * First/Middle/Last-name * Preferred username * GPG key * Forwarding email address (for things like cron output etc.) * Signed agreement to abide by DMUP * Machine(s)/Architecture(s) to which access is needed * Short rationale as to //why// access is needed === Information sponsoring DD needs to supply to DSA === * Signed email containing above information == DMs/NMs == DMs (i.e. people who have their key in the debian-maintainers keyring) or people already in the NM process may route their request through the NM-frontdesk. The following information should be provided to frontdesk: * First/Middle/Last-name * Preferred username * GPG key fingerprint (if key is in the debian-maintainers keyring), or key if not. * Forwarding email address (for things like cron output etc.) * Signed agreement to abide by DMUP (or link to the mailinglist archive of debian-newmaint where that already was done) * Machine(s)/Architecture(s) to which access is needed * Short rationale as to //why// access is needed A member of frontdesk will verify the information for correctness, and create a ticket in RT (signed by the frontdesk member) asking DSA to add the new account to LDAP. The final decision about account creation remains with DSA.
