= Guest Access to porter machines =

== non-DMs ==

People who are not DDs, DMs or NMs 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.  The procedure for this is that
the guest applicant should supply several details (listed below) to a 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 <a href="http://wiki.debian.org/rt.debian.org">wiki.d.o</a> 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

=== 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
<a href="mailto:new-maintainer@debian.org">NM-frontdesk</a>.

The following information shall 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

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.
